3.00 Credits
This is a graduate level course designed to provide the student with a foundation for the analysis of trace evidence in criminal cases. This course will include the forensic analysis of hairs, fibers, glass, paint, and soil, and the use of microscopy and other analyses in the identification and comparison of trace evidence. Lectures will be supplemented with laboratory exercises. Prerequisite: Admission to the forensic science graduate program or permission of instructor

3.00 Credits
This course is a graduate level course designed to familiarize the student with the basic methods and techniques of research and the preparation of research papers. It is designed to instill proper practices for creating an experiment and reporting those results and ideas in an appropriate manner. In this course, students will learn how to research a topic and design an experiment. The students will then be asked to dissect and critique relevant scientific journal articles to understand the intent and content of each section. Finally, the students will utilize the skills they learned and developed in the previous weeks of the class to prepare a literature survey or design an experiment on a particular research topic.

3.00 Credits
Forensic Chemistry is a graduate level course designed to provide the student with a foundation in the theories, techniques and vocabulary of the unique field of forensic chemistry. This course covers forensic chemistry techniques and principles including drugs, arson, explosives, soil, glass, and fiber analyses. This is achieved through interactive lectures and laboratory demonstrations. Students should have completed General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry and Instrumental Analysis courses.
-
4.00 Credits
This course includes lectures and limited laboratory demonstrations in DNA technology. The topic areas include: classical examples of biotechnology, automated DNA quantitation, PCR and RT PCR analysis, slab-gel and capillary electrophoresis, detection methods (fluorescent dyes), genetic analyzers, STR, Y-STR, SNP (nuclear DNA) genotyping, mtDNA sequencing, DNA database analysis, and applications of biotechnology to various fields with an emphasis on their use in the forensic sciences.
-
1.00 Credits

4.00 Credits
A supervised internal full-time practicum at the Fredric Rieders Family Renaissance Foundation (FRFRF). Principles of the forensic analysis of blood and other biological materials as well as the procedures involved in DNA profiling of evidence (including DNA extraction, quantitation, amplification and detection) will be used to process casework samples, perform analyses, interpret results, write reports, and participate in moot court experiences. Students will have multiple hands-on casework samples, laboratory experiences, and the assistance of forensic practitioners in the preparation, and execution of appropriate reports, analyses, and court testimonies.

4.00 Credits
A supervised internal full-time practicum at the Fredric Rieders Family Renaissance Foundation (FRFRF). Principles and techniques of the forensic identification of drugs including the weighing and sampling of drug evidence as well as presumptive and confirmatory drug identification will be used to process casework samples, perform analyses, interpret results, write reports, and participate in moot court experiences. Students will have multiple hands-on casework samples, laboratory experiences, and the assistance of forensic practitioners in the preparation and execution of appropriate reports, analyses, and court testimonies. Students will also learn those analytical techniques used for the forensic analysis of arson as well as soil analysis.
-
4.00 Credits
A supervised internal full-time practicum at the Fredric Rieders Family Renaissance Foundation (FRFRF). Principles and procedures used in the forensic analysis of drugs and toxins including their detection, extraction and purification from biological matrices, and quantitation will be used to process casework samples, perform analyses, interpret results, write reports, and participate in moot court experiences. Students will have multiple hands-on casework samples, experiences with screening procedures and analytical methodologies, and the assistance of forensic practitioners in the preparation and execution of appropriate reports and court testimonies.
