The number of forensic science (FS) programs in the US has significantly increased since 2001 due to rising student interest. Prospective students should carefully research and evaluate academic programs before enrolling.

Area of Science:

  • Forensic Science Education
  • Higher Education in the US

Background:

  • Academic forensic science programs were historically small and department-specific.
  • A surge in interest in forensic science in the early 2000s led to increased program offerings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify and document the landscape of academic forensic science programs in the United States.
  • To provide a comprehensive list of active forensic science degrees available to prospective students.

Main Methods:

  • Online searches were conducted using key resources like the Forensic Science Education Program Accreditation Commission (FEPAC) list.
  • University websites were accessed to verify program activity, location, department, degree details, and accreditation.

Main Results:

Keywords:

  • Numerous forensic science programs at various academic levels (PhD to certificate) were identified across US institutions.
  • Only FEPAC-accredited programs were considered, with a focus on active degrees, excluding those offering forensic electives.

Conclusions:

  • The proliferation of forensic science programs necessitates careful evaluation by prospective students.
  • Informed decision-making is crucial for students navigating the expanding field of forensic science education.
