1 between Forensic Science and and have developed this articulation agreement to facilitate the educational mobility and transfer of students from Washtenaw Community College to. Article I and enter into this agreement as cooperating, equal partners who shall maintain the integrity of their separate programs, while working to ensure a smooth transition for interested students. Article II and agree that any student who has earned an Associate in Science degree with a Biology/Pre-Medicine Concentration at may transfer the identified credits toward a Bachelor of Science degree at in Forensic Science. The Bachelor's degree graduation requirements for students who follow this articulation agreement are as follows: A. An Associate of Science degree with Biology/Pre-Medicine Concentration with MTA Endorsement from including the courses noted in the appendix. B. The completion of a program of study in Forensic Science at as outlined in the appendix which requires a minor in Chemistry. C. A grade of 2.00 or better is required of courses for transfer to Madonna University. An average GPA of 2.80 is required for the courses noted as Pre- Forensic Science Block Requirements. This condition must be met to be considered for admission to the Forensic Science program. D. Under this agreement, students are required to complete a minimum of semester hours in general education requirements at. Students must also meet all other requirements needed for a Bachelor of Science from as noted in the appendix.

2 Article III A student must comply with the individual program requirements that are in effect at the time the specific program is selected. Graduates under this agreement receive equal consideration with others seeking admission or financial aid. Article IV and agree that a person who has completed an may graduate from with a baccalaureate degree without duplicative study by following the articulated plan appended in this agreement. Article V and agree to communicate annually any curriculum changes or policies that affect the agreed-upon articulation agreement. Both parties reserve the right to amend or revise by mutual consent and in writing this agreement or to change curriculum, whenever feasible. will designate an official(s) who will be responsible for all aspects of the articulation program at. will designate individual(s) responsible for all aspects of this articulation agreement at Madonna University. and will review this agreement every three years and make adjustments or amendments as deemed appropriate to maintain the integrity of each institution as well as for the improvement of the transfer process and student articulation. If agreed upon, pending review, a renewal of the agreement may be signed. Article VI The two institutions further agree to communicate the established relationships to respective publics. Article VII Either or may terminate the agreement by notifying the other party in writing 90 days in advance. Should the agreement be terminated, any student who has selected this articulation program prior to termination will be allowed to complete the program within a five-year period of time. This agreement is effective as of February 1, 2015.

Often, they specialize in areas such as DNA analysis or firearm examination or perform tests on weapons or substances such as fiber, hair, tissue, or body fluids to determine significance to the investigation. They also prepare reports to document their findings and the laboratory techniques used. When criminal cases come to trial, forensic science technicians often provide testimony as expert witnesses on specific laboratory findings by identifying and classifying evidence collected at the crime scene. Transfer students with over 60 semester hours completed at other institutions intending to pursue Forensic Science at must have a cumulative GPA of at least 2.8, have completed at least 2/ of all course work attempted, and be in good academic and personal standing at prior institutions. Students interested in a Forensic Science major must complete a pre-forensic science block of courses with a minimum 2.75 GPA in the block, in order to be eligible to apply for acceptance to the Forensic Science program at : Pre-Forensic Science Block Requirements Madonna Course Number Madonna Course Title Washtenaw Course Number BIO 100 General Biology I BIO 162 CHM 1110 General Chemistry I CEM 111 CHM 1120 General Chemistry II CEM 122 CHM 2210 Organic Chemistry I CEM 211 FOR 1010 Introduction to Forensic Science No equivalent course MTH 2510 Calculus w/ Analytic Geometry I MTH 191 MTH 250 Probability and Statistics MTH 160 WRT 1020 College Comp II WRT 1020 Contact Counseling & Career Planning at WCC at for any questions regarding pre-requisites for courses listed above.
