Certificate in Forensic Chemistry
Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry


The certificate in Forensic Chemistry is designed to give students the credentials to function in a forensic science laboratory as part of a team to solve legal problems requiring specific training in chemistry. With the proper choice of electives, someone pursuing a degree in chemistry, biochemistry, or biology can earn the certificate. The field of Forensic Chemistry is an exciting application of chemistry that helps serve the judicial system of our country. Modern developments in chemical instrumentation allow for detection of trace amounts of chemical evidence and people completing this certificate will be trained to use these techniques.
