The Forensic Psychology Degree involves blending psychology and law. Forensic psychologists assess and evaluate the mental state of criminals and victims and often serve as expert witnesses in criminal trials. Because forensic psychology licensure requires a graduate degree, the bachelor's degree functions to provide a strong foundation for specialized graduate work. This degree enables students to integrate their faith with their knowledge and understanding of the field of forensic psychology.
