Forensic Psychology Undergraduate Programs

Forensic psychology applies psychological theories and research methods to understand crime and the criminal justice system. Forensic psychologists consider issues like criminal trends, criminal personality and the causes of violence and aggression. While most forensic psychology programs in the U.S. are graduate or doctoral programs, a few undergraduate programs offering degrees or concentrations in forensic psychology do exist. Students who graduate with a bachelor's degree in forensic psychology often work in law enforcement agencies or pursue graduate degrees.
