CSI
Hey guys! So, i've been thinking about studying to be a Crime Scene Investigator/Examiner. Btw, I live in New York. I've been doing my research on CUNY colleges, and 2 offer Forensic Science curriculums and 2 offer Criminal Justice Curriculums. What's the difference? Also, can I become a Crime Scene Investigator if I take two years of criminal justice and then 2 years of forensic science? Someone PLEASE help me differentiate. I really appreciate it!!

I was planning on doing this too. I went to the actual Forensics Lab though and talked with some of the actual Scientists. Honestly, I turned around and walked out the door. Everything I saw in the Lab had to do with children or babies and I couldnt handle it. You can not get away with doing it at a country college though. You have to go above and beyond your bachelors and get your masters which means anywhere from 4-10+ years of schooling at a university. Criminal Justice is more of the law part, forensic science is the part that deals with the unexplained deaths and working in the situation rather than in an office with the paperwork part. If you enjoy and do well in science courses like biology and chemistry, I say go for it. Just know, it is ALOT of work and takes a while. If this is something you want and plan on setting your mind to, you can do it without a doubt :)
