Students will be required to take introduction to criminal justice and introduction to law, as well as biology courses. There are two tracks students can choose from—Trace Evidence and Materials, and DNA Analysis and Toxicology where students will learn about DNA analysis, serology, arson, explosives and other important chemical investigation in forensic chemistry.
Additional teaching labs cover hands-on training for topics covered in class, such as DNA fingerprinting; analysis of body fluids for drugs; hair analysis for metal poisoning and drug abuse; and detection of explosives. All lab work requires an understanding of sample collection, data analysis and proper usage of science instruments and equipment.
