Master of Forensic Science

General Information
In the past few years film and television has introduced our entire society to the once closed world of forensic science. One of the elements that the entertainment industry has correctly identified as shedding light into the field is that a multidisciplinary approach is necessary to allow our criminal justice system to run properly.

The Master of Forensic Sciences (MFS) Program is designed to provide a thorough introduction to both the scientific and legal aspects of the field, which will then be followed by more in-depth study of specific forensic science fields, such as forensic pathology, forensic anthropology, and a variety of sub-disciplines within the field of criminalistics. Students will be exposed to both the intricacies of problem solving as well as to the real-world application of the related disciplines within the field of forensic science. A collaborative network of municipal agencies, private enterprise and allied professional programs within the University has been built to prepare professionals who can confront the forensic challenges of the new millennium.

The program is not limited to only those students with undergraduate degrees in criminal justice and topic related fields. The MFS program is designed to attract students at a multidisciplinary level. Students with coursework in the natural sciences, pre-medicine, engineering, computer science, psychology and the social sciences are only a few of the disciplines which will find this program beneficial.
