Our Mission

The Forensic Science programs’ mission is to develop a future-focused, technology-ready forensic science workforce capable of detecting, recognizing, recovering, generating, interpreting and communicating evidence to understand anomalous events of public interest.

The programs’ focus is on the scientific sub-disciplines of Forensic DNA/Biology, Forensic Chemistry, Forensic Toxicology, Evidence Collection/Retrieval, Data Analytics, and Probabilistic Interpretation.

Students from MSFS and minor-FS are able to demonstrate the following skills:

  • build forensically relevant hypotheses

  • appropriately generate and store data from traces and remnants of past activities that distinguish forensically relevant hypotheses

  • properly interpret data using forensically relevant propositions; and

  • successfully communicate the findings and interpretation

Student Outcomes

The faculty teach and model scientific rigor with the highest professional and academic standards generating confident, competent, and ethical future practitioners.

Our students acquire lifelong skills in communication, study design, and research. Both the graduate and undergraduate student regularly interface with research laboratories and create innovations that open new career opportunities in investigative and evaluative forensic sciences.

A full list of our programs and descriptions of our facilities and research can be found on the Forensic Science Program's website.
