Undergraduate forensic science programs are rare and you're going to have a hard time finding more than one or two if you narrow your search regionally. Regardless, here's the advice I've heard several times from friends working towards that career: Your undergraduate should be a B.S. in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, or something along those lines. Jobs look more favorably on graduate work in forensic science with a broader field for undergraduate then they do with an undergraduate in forensic science. I'd check out Northeastern in Boston. They have a great co-op program that would help you get some first hand experience.
