The Marshall University Forensic Science Graduate Program

Ranked #1 for twelve out of the last fourteen years on the FSAT Exam, Marshall University’s Master’s Degree in Forensic Science is one of twenty-one FEPAC accredited graduate programs in the United States. Our forensic science graduate program includes a five-semester core curriculum with both thesis and non-thesis options.

In addition to the core curriculum, four areas of emphasis are offered to graduate students for more in-depth education and training in specific forensic science disciplines. While one area of emphasis is required, students may complete all four areas of emphasis during their course of study. Areas of emphasis include DNA Analysis, Forensic Chemistry, Digital Forensics, and Crime Scene Investigation.
