I'm just wondering a few things.
1)  What is the best college to go to if I'm interested in becoming a forensic scientist?
2)  What colleges offer a forensic science undergraduate degree?
3)  What college courses should I take?
4)  What should my bachelor's degree be should the college that I go to not offer one for forensic science?

University of New Haven, University of West Virginia are some good college's you may want to consider. I would take Biology, Chemistry, and pretty much anything to do with science. I would major in Biochemistry, Chemistry, or Biology if your school doesn't have a program. Here is a list of accredited programs: http://www.aafs.org/default.asp?section_id=resources&page_id=accredited_schools
Here are all the schools that offer it, but not all of them are accredited: http://www.aafs.org/default.asp?section_id=resources&page_id=colleges_and_universities#UNDERGRADUATE_PROGRAMS_WITHIN_THE_UNITED_STATES
Good Luck, and I would recommend getting a MS in Forensic Science, because it will help you. Good Luck!

University of New Haven is one of the best in the country for Forensic Science. Not many schools do have this program. I have visited this school, and their program is excellent. Also, they have Criminal Justice with a concentration in Crime Analysis or Investigative Services. University of New Haven also has internships as well as co-ops with Connecticut crime labs, as well as with the FBI. They have an on-site training center, which is continuously visited by people that are currently in the field. (Which is a great way to make connections.) In addition to this, all the teachers that teach there have the highest degrees in their field and they are mostly still active in their field. This school is definitely worth looking into. The website is: http://www.newhaven.edu/   Good Luck! : ) If you plan on visiting this school, it is worth it to go during an open house. They will do a full tour, as well as give you an opportunity to speak with an admissions counselor.
