The Master of Science in Forensic Medicine Program is a full master’s degree program that prepares students to become lifelong learners by developing a baseline of analytic and critical thinking skills that will prepare them for the challenges of forensic medicine and to positively affect the lives of their patients and their patients’ families, their employers and their communities.
REQUEST PROGRAM INFORMATION
The program is designed for individuals who have an undergraduate degree and background
in the sciences. The curriculum consists of one year of didactic (face-to-face classroom)
coursework that meets one weekend per month followed by a year of online coursework
as well as a capstone project. Classes during the first year (August-May) will be
held on Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. Online classes begin
in the summer of the second year. For additional details, view the course sequence for the Master of Science in Forensic Medicine Program.
