Forensic scientists, also known as crime scene investigators (CSI) are responsible for collecting, analyzing, and investigating the evidence left at the scene of a crime. They also may be required to testify in court cases. Graduates also work in state laboratories or medical examiners offices. Many forensic scientists specialize in an area such as DNA analysis, fingerprint matching, and firearms examination. An associate's or bachelor's degree is a good starting point for entry-level forensic technicians. Many forensic scientists have attained a master's or doctorate degrees in their specialization.
