<p>If one was interested in something such as Forensic anthropology, what would be the best undergrad major? Would Biology or Chemistry be good? Or perhaps Forensic Science or Anthropology?</p>

<p>What about others like Forensic pathology, entomology, toxicology? Would chemistry be a good major?</p>

<p>The thing is, i love chemistry and may want to do undergrad in it. But I am seeing all these interesting careers and would like to know IF i wanted to do them, how would I? I dont really want to do a Forensic Science undergrad major because that is too specific</p>

<p>You’re right - don’t major in forensic science. Chemistry and biology are good majors for getting into the field, but if you want to be a forensic anthropologist, major in physical anthropology, sometimes called biological anthropology. Normal anthropology is more on the social sciences side.</p>

<p>Chemistry would be a great major and has a lot of flexibility if you decide you don’t want one specific career.</p>
