How do I get started in computer forensics as a computer science student?

I'm currently pursuing my undergrad in computer science and realized I don't like software development. I've always had my eye on computer forensics since I originally wanted to do criminal justice. How can I get started with this subject?

Also (random question), do employers prefer applicants with computer science degrees?
