We believe specialization is paramount to modern forensic practice. TJU has worked closely with industry experts and partners at The Center for Forensic Science Research & Education (CFSRE) to develop a specialized curriculum in forensic biology, equipping graduates with an advanced skillset that exceeds the qualifications for employment within the field.
The focus of the program is hands-on, experiential learning that enables students to gain valuable experience through core courses, clerkship and research while working with state-of-the-art instrumentation. Additionally, students acquire professional development skills in leadership, business and management through elective courses that create attractive candidates for job placement. Through its partnership with the CFSRE, a non-profit organization, students can complete coursework in a fully functioning laboratory environment, utilizing instrumentation and techniques employed by many forensic DNA laboratories across the country. This allows students to engage first-hand in crime-lab operations, a truly unparalleled educational experience.
