COURSE CURRICULUM

The Forensic Science program offers three specialized tracks—Biology, Chemistry, and Physics—each designed to provide a strong scientific foundation combined with focused forensic expertise. The Biology specialization covers molecular and cellular biology, genetics, human physiology, microbiology, biochemistry, and ecology, alongside forensic courses such as forensic biology, criminalistics, crime scene science, and forensic toxicology. The Chemistry specialization emphasizes organic, analytical, physical, and environmental chemistry, with courses in forensic chemistry, drug chemistry, fire investigation, and advanced chemical biology. The Physics specialization integrates core physics subjects like mechanics, thermodynamics, electromagnetism, and modern physics, complemented by forensic physics applications and fire investigation. All specializations include essential courses in biology, chemistry, physics, programming, calculus, and statistics, ensuring a comprehensive scientific background. Hands-on learning is emphasized through courses like mock crime scene practicums, thesis projects, and directed studies. Partnerships with law enforcement and forensic labs support real-world experience, while interdisciplinary topics and legal studies prepare students for professional forensic roles. Each specialization culminates in a thesis project and advanced forensic training, equipping graduates with the knowledge and skills required to pursue careers in forensic investigation, research, or related scientific fields. Course offerings are subject to change, and students are encouraged to consult the academic calendar and course catalogue for detailed requirements.
