Forensic scientists interpret evidence obtained from the scene of a crime. They often identify suspects through tiny traces of scientific evidence. Their research is a difference-maker in acquitting the innocent or convicting the guilty.

We're also set up for more practical experiences. Fingerprinting and blood pattern analysis can be done in our labs. 

Our students also get the opportunity to integrate academic studies with the daily operations of a forensic science related facility through our required internship program* their senior year. Each of the required six semester hours translates to 45 on-site hours in the field.
