How does someone become a forensic archaeologist?
There are a number of programs around the United States for those interested in professional training and accreditation. Forensic archaeology is a significant component in many of these programs, but for anyone wanting to specialize in forensic archaeology, a solid academic background in anthropology and archaeology is essential. The Master of Forensic Science Program at Nebraska Wesleyan University prepares students to be leaders in the field of forensic science as law enforcement, crime scene investigators, or forensic laboratory specialists. Students in the second year of the NWU program focus on one of three tracks: behavioral sciences, biology and chemistry, or investigative sciences. Learn more about the program here.
