Most of my classes deal with criminal law, case law, sociology of policing, contemporary issues in courts and justice, and corrections. Most of my upper-level classes are spent touching on some aspect of race and justice anymore.
The "forensics" minor, is a misnomer. We do a lot of crime scene analysis and evidence collection, but only a handful of students actually focus on the science portion. "Investigations" is a more fitting title, IMO. And if you really want to be a forensic scientist, you're much better off with a chemistry degree. As for the accounting, I picked it up out of necessity. I didn't have enough credits to stay full time with the classes I actually needed. I don't care if I do a single minute of accounting after I graduate. Although, the FBI lists accounting expertise as one of its most desired traits, so we'll see.
