Courses

50:412:327 Forensic Science Theory and Policy (3) This course aims to introduce the theoretical framework of forensic science from both an academic and practitioner viewpoint. Students will be familiarized with a range of forensic techniques, forensic terminology, and forensic procedures and protocols. We will examine the strengths and weaknesses of a number of common forensic techniques as well as the pitfalls of relying too heavily on forensic evidence. Finally, we will consider a number of related disciplines and issues, such as evidence admissibility, the CSI effect, human rights, forensic regulation, standards, and quality control to gain a broader understanding of forensics' modern role and future development within criminal justice.
50:412:328 Forensic Science Methods and Techniques (3) Students will be introduced to a range of forensic techniques that cut across the physical and life sciences. Each lecture will cover a different type of forensic method including the basic science underlying each technique, as well as its practical application to criminal investigations.
50:412:329 Forensic Science Methods and Techniques Lab (1) Students will perform a range of forensic examinations and analyses in a laboratory setting. Methods are derived from the physical and biological sciences. Corequisite: 50:412:328.
50:412:427 Forensic Pattern Evidence (3) This course introduces students to the recovery and analysis of pattern evidence, which includes fingerprints, footwear, tool and tire marks, blood spatter, and ballistics. Prerequisites: 120:328 and 329 or 160:327 and 328 or 202:328 and 329 or 412:328 and 329.
50:412:429 Forensic Trace Evidence (3) This course introduces students to the recovery and analysis of trace evidence, which includes hair, fibers, glass, paint, pollen, soil, and other residues. Principles and techniques are derived from both the biological and physical sciences. Prerequisites: 120:328 and 329 or 160:327 and 328 or 202:328 and 329 or 412:328 and 329.
50:412:450/451 Independent Study (3) This course provides undergraduate students with the opportunity to study and/or conduct research under the supervision of a forensic science faculty member.
50:412:490 International Perspectives of Forensic Science (3) This course aims to introduce the history and evolution of forensic science, significant cases, and the framework of international standards within forensic science. Students will learn how forensic science is practiced in the U.K., the strengths and weaknesses of the U.S. and U.K. systems, and how the discipline is changing in each country. The course includes a trip to the U.K. during which students will visit court in session, forensic laboratories, museums with forensic significance, and academic institutions at the forefront of forensic research.
50:412:495/496 Special Topics in Forensic Science (3) This course aims to provide students with instruction in a specialist area of forensic science.
