Eugenio María de Hostos Community College (HCC) and John Jay College of Criminal Justice propose to offer an Associate in Science (A.S.) degree in Science for Forensic Science as a jointly registered, dual admission program with the existing Bachelor of Science in Forensic Science (B.S.) at John Jay College of Criminal Justice (John Jay). The proposed program will provide HCC students with a similiar curriculum as the first two years of the forensic science program required at John Jay. Upon successful completion of the lower division at HCC, students will have a seamless transition to the upper division of the baccalaureate program at John Jay. The dual/joint program will offer increased educational opportunities for Hispanics, African Americans and other underrepresented minorities in the science field who might otherwise be denied access to higher education. The collegial nature of the program will facilitate the transition to the professional portion of the curriculum.
