The Forensic Chemistry program integrates the study of science and law with investigative practice and theory. Students receive a comprehensive chemistry education including a range of courses in analytical, biochemical, environmental, inorganic, organic, and physical chemistry. Students practice case work, learn team-building, analyze ethical and legal issues related to evidence, and face the challenge of communicating complex scientific evidence within the legal system. Students in the program may also participate in a placement/mentorship course where they gain valuable “real-world” experience and begin to develop their professional network.
