Im 99% sure this is the area I want to go into once I get my degree. Are there any classes that I should be taking or places that I should get experience at?
Yes, you should try and work in the ED. Excellent area to gain experience in forensics. Also, if you can, shadow/volunteer with a coroner/ME. Another great way to see the world of Forensics firsthand.
