Science for Forensics

Upon completion of your degree at BMCC, you are guaranteed admission into the third year of John Jay College's Baccalaureate Forensic Science program.To retain their eligibility for the baccalaureate program, students must maintain at least a 2.5 GPA in their core science and mathematics courses.

General Requirements

This is a two-semester course sequence that involves the study of chemical principles including atomic and molecular theories, molecular structure, and reactivity. The laboratory will include experiments illustrating the chemical principles. CHE 201-202 two terms required. Required in A.S. (Science) and A.S. (Engineering Science). Fulfills science requirement for A.A. (Liberal Arts). Prerequisite for CHE 202 is CHE 201

This is the first college level writing course. Readings are used to stimulate critical thinking and to provide students with models for effective writing. Students become acquainted with the process of writing, from pre-writing activities to producing a final, proofread draft. Grammar and syntax are discussed as needed. At the end of this course, students take a departmental essay examination that requires them to compose, draft, and edit a thesis-centered essay of at least 500 words. Prerequisite: Pass the CATR and CATW tests
This is an integrated course in analytic geometry and calculus, applied to functions of a single variable. It covers a study of rectangular coordinates in the plane, equations of conic sections, functions, limits, continuity, related rates, differentiation of algebraic and transcendental functions, Rolle¿s Theorem, the Mean Value Theorem, maxima and minima, and integration. Prerequisite: MAT 206
The aim of this course is to develop effective skills in speech communication. The student examines how to generate topics and organized ideas, masters elements of audience psychology and practices techniques of speech presentation in a public forum. All elements of speech production and presentation are considered.
This course is a continuation of ENG 101. It helps the student further develop composition skills through literary analysis. Students continue to focus on the writing process as they are introduced to a variety of literary genres including the short story, drama, poetry, and/or the novel. Students complete a documented paper based on library, electronic, and field research. Prerequisite: ENG 101
1. Social Science elective must be an Ethnic Studies course
