贝勒大学三年级学生阿曼达·索兰德很满意她的专业——去年春季学期她上了一门名为犯罪现场调查的课后就喜欢上法医学。她读过医学预科,现在她的学习重点是如何捕捉罪犯和帮助受害者家庭。法医学现在在贝勒大学很受欢迎,位于得克萨斯州韦科的这所学校不得不规定最底学分线,并限制选修该专业的学生数量。其他受欢迎程度激增的研究领域包括刑事司法、护理、宗教研究,有些学校甚至还有会计学。 Amanda Soland, a third-year student at Baylor College, was very satisfied with her major—she had liked forensic science since she took a class called crime scene investigation last spring semester. She has read medical preparatory courses and now her focus is on how to capture criminals and help victims’ families. Forensic medicine is now very popular at Baylor University. The school in Waco, Texas, has to set the bottom line and limit the number of students taking the program. Other areas of increased popularity include criminal justice, nursing, and religious studies. Some schools even have accounting.
