Professional Science Masters' Degree in Forensic Science (MSFS)
The Professional Science Master's Degree Program in Forensic Science represents a unique interdisciplinary degree concept designed for students interested in entering the workforce to apply their scientific knowledge, skills, and abilities to questions of civil and criminal law. Offered as a two-year program administered by the Department of Chemistry in the College of Science and Mathematics, this degree allows students to explore the bio-molecular and chemical analyses most often conducted by crime laboratories on physical evidence recovered from crime scenes.
The MSFS program is designed to provide students with a working knowledge of the collection, preservation, analysis, and interpretation of physical evidence. In addition, it provides practical laboratory experience in order to prepare graduates for immediate entry into a crime laboratory.
