BA/BS in Forensic Studies

Forensic Studies is a certificate offered by the School of Criminology in SFU's Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. It is primarily for students and professionals who want to focus their criminology undergraduate studies on courses related to forensic studies, building expertise in the application of scientific and investigative methods within the criminal justice system. As a certificate rather than a stand-alone degree, it is typically completed alongside a criminology major or related program at SFU, adding a documented forensic specialization to that degree. The program's overview page does not list a fixed course sequence; the full certificate description and required courses are set out in the Simon Fraser University Academic Calendar. The certificate is intended to prepare students for further study or careers that draw on forensic-related coursework within criminology.
