📚About the Program

Gain a solid scientific education and demonstrate how scientific data is generated, analyzed, and interpreted as well as learn to recognize the limitations of scientific testing in order to interpret scientific data in an unbiased fashion. Develop an understanding of the ethical responsibilities of forensic scientists in the Canadian system of criminal justice. Our formal educational partnerships with the Ontario Police College and the Canadian Police College expose our students to relevant crime scene investigation techniques. We also have an extensive curriculum on Forensic Jurisprudence built into all our forensic degrees. New Crime Scene Course for All Interested Students! We have created a new crime scene investigation course that is open to any university-level student. Police officers who do this work are called forensic identification officers. In response to many requests, we have now added a course that students can take that to learn about this fascinating area. Course Title: FOID 1006 - An Introduction to Scientific Inquiry and Crime Scene Investigation NOTE: This is the only forensic identification course that is universally available. All the other courses in the program can only be taken by serving police officers, fire investigators or students in the Laurentian forensic science program. Show less
