Professional Science Masters in Forensic Chemistry (STEM)

Program Overview

The primary objective of the Forensic Chemistry PSM is for students to develop a portfolio of knowledge and experiences through a strong background in analytical methodologies that will enable them to tackle problems in forensic, environmental and other areas of chemistry. Other objectives include providing:

  • A theoretical understanding of major concepts in forensic chemistry,
  • A range of practical skills in forensic chemistry, and
  • Knowledge and skills applicable to academia, industry and government.

The goal of the program is the successful placement of graduates into relevant jobs and to enable career advancement for chemists already employed.

The program includes core requirements in current topics in forensic chemistry; applied biopharmaceutics; data analysis; law, ethics and policy; and toxicology. Attendance is required at annual symposia where leaders in the field of forensic science present on current topics and developments in the field of forensics and forensic chemistry. Many courses in the program are conducted as hands-on training in a modular, forensic chemistry laboratory. An independent project is assigned that will generate knowledge with the goal of developing advanced forensic skills, enabling program graduates to effectively work in and be leaders of the discipline of forensic chemistry. All students are required to complete a forensic chemistry internship.
