Our mission is to provide Master of Science in Forensic Science students the knowledge, skills and abilities to prepare them for successful careers in forensic science. This mission is accomplished through academic coursework, hands-on experience in the laboratory, research and the completion of an internship in a forensic science laboratory. This is facilitated by academics and practitioners alike in a state of the art facility with outstanding scientific resources.
We strive to provide students with critical thinking ability, problem-solving skills and advanced discipline-specific knowledge. The Forensic Science Program at Sam Houston State University hopes to serve as a model for excellence in forensic science education and is committed to continuous quality improvement. In doing so, we hope to provide the forensic science community with not only competent and well-trained laboratory professionals, but individuals with the standard of training necessary to advance into leadership positions.
