MA/MS in Forensic Sciences

The Master of Forensic Sciences is a research-intensive, accelerated graduate degree that can be completed within twelve months, delivered in a hybrid format combining in-person and online coursework. The program builds on undergraduate training in forensic science, covering DNA analysis, forensic chemistry, forensic toxicology, and laboratory operations and quality assurance, with coursework in the first trimester followed by a major applied project across the second and third trimesters. Students have access to a dedicated forensic teaching laboratory and crime scene apartment, a forensic toxicology research laboratory, and a scanning electron microscope laboratory within a department that has offered dedicated forensic science training since 2004. Admission requires a four-year undergraduate degree or equivalent in forensic science with a minimum average of 75%; applicants submit a statement of forensic discipline interest, curriculum vitae, official transcripts, and, for external candidates, three reference forms. It suits forensic science graduates seeking advanced laboratory and casework training for careers in forensic laboratories, law enforcement, and related fields.
