Students are introduced to and trained on the various forensic techniques used in the field and in the laboratory environment and the presentation of evidence in the courtroom. Selection of an emphasis area allows students to establish expertise within a specific dimension of forensic science. During their course of study, students are able to complete coursework in drug identification and analysis, DNA, fingerprinting, crime scene documentation, firearms identification and arson investigation, among others.
Strong Freshman applicants will present a 2.5 minimum GPA in core academic subjects. It is understood that most foreign education systems do not follow the same core curriculum as taught in U.S. high schools. Therefore, each applicant will be evaluated on criteria particular to the educational system of the country in which they completed their studies. However, it is expected that a college preparatory curriculum include courses in English, Math, Science, and Social Science.
