The Master of Science
in Forensic Science program is designed to prepare
students for careers as forensic scientists in government
and private laboratories. Students receive in-depth
exposure to specializations within the field, including
drug analysis,
DNA  analysis,
trace evidence, criminalistics and legal issues. A
strong emphasis on laboratory courses provides students
with significant hands-on experience prior to graduation.
Several of the required lab courses are taught at the
Virginia Department of Forensic Science Lab, which
is nationally
accredited
by the American Society of Crime Laboratory Directors.
