The Forensics course is an elective for those students with an interest in crime scene investigations, police work involving crime scene evidence, and the role of forensic science in upholding the law. The field of forensic science is currently in a state of distress as most crime labs and forensic scientists are over worked and are dealing with massive backlogs of cases and evidence. Anything that we can do that would encourage students to consider the pursuit of a career in forensic science would help to alleviate this situation!
