FRNSC:MS - Master of Science in Forensic Science

The Master of Science (MS) in Forensic Science degree equips students with a solid foundation in biology, forensic biology, and chemistry, as well as forensic analysis methods. The goal of this program is to graduate scientists who can work as forensic science practitioners conducting casework examinations or to provide advanced science education to students interested in continuing their education towards a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) or other terminal degree (e.g., a law degree). This program is designed to meet the requirements of the DNA Advisory Board for DNA analysts in the Technical Leader position (for DNA track students) and meets the criteria of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences (AAFS) for Forensic Science Education Programs Accreditation Commission (FEPAC) accreditation.
