Program details
Overview
This Honours Bachelor of Forensic Science program combines forensic analysis techniques with a disciplinary concentration chosen from Human Biology, Forensic Chemistry, or Ecology of Death, alongside coursework in criminology and criminal justice. Learning is supplemented with mock crime scene exercises and laboratory work that simulate real investigative scenarios, and instructors draw on forensic casework experience in their teaching. Students who have completed college studies in Police Foundations may be eligible for advanced standing in the program's applied forensic science stream. The program is delivered on campus at the University of Windsor over four years, combining lecture, laboratory, and field-based instruction. It suits students interested in combining scientific analysis with criminal justice who want a specialization within a broader forensic science degree, and it prepares graduates for roles such as forensic biologist or chemist, crime scene officer, laboratory technician, and pathology assistant, among other positions in forensic and criminal justice fields.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:70.00 / %
Admission Requirements: Canadian high-school applicants need Advanced Functions (MHF4U), Chemistry (SCH4U), Biology (SBI4U) and English (ENG4U), with Physics (SPH4U) strongly recommended and Calculus & Vectors (MCV4U) recommended. The minimum admission average is 70% across the required science and math courses; the university reports a recent entering mean average of 85%. International high-school applicants face the same course list, given as Grade 12 equivalents, and the same 70% minimum, with the same 85% mean average reported. Students with prior college study in Police Foundations may be considered for advanced standing. The programme page defers language proficiency to the university's general policy rather than stating its own scores: per the University of Windsor's undergraduate admission requirements, applicants need IELTS Academic 6.5, TOEFL iBT 83 (writing 20), Duolingo 115, CAEL 60, PTE Academic 60, or the university's ELIP Level III at 75% or above.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants (Ontario high school via OUAC 101, other-Canadian-province and US applicants via OUAC 105) apply directly through OUAC; the University of Windsor publishes no fixed institutional application deadline for these routes on its registrar or recruitment pages. International undergraduate applicants are given recommended deadlines of May 1, 2027 for September 2027 (Fall) entry, September 1, 2026 for January 2027 (Winter) entry, and January 1, 2027 for May 2027 (Spring) entry, but Windsor states it will admit qualified applicants after these dates if space remains in the program, so admission is effectively rolling for both domestic and international routes. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
