Lab Requirement

In order to qualify to take a Regents examination in any of the sciences, a student must complete 1200 minutes of laboratory experience with satisfactory documented laboratory reports. The 1200 minutes of laboratory experience must be in addition to the required classroom instruction associated with earning a unit of credit. A student who does not satisfy the laboratory requirements will not be permitted to take the Regents examination.

Forensics 1 and 2: This course is an introductory class to the real-life applications of biology and chemistry in the forensics field. It counts as part of the minimum six science credits required for graduation in NYC Public Schools.
