What programs of study are available to FIU students?
The International Forensic Research Institute (IFRI) based in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry coordinates a variety of undergraduate and graduate programs. At the undergraduate level students can complete a Forensic Science Certificate which accompanies a bachelor’s degree, normally in chemistry or biology, and there is also a B.S. in Chemistry with a Forensic Science Concentration. At the graduate level there is a M.S. in Forensic Science, a report option M.S. in Forensic Science for practicing forensic scientist and students can also complete Ph.D. in Chemistry or Biology working on forensic related projects. These forensic science programs are designed for students in the natural sciences and, while students may minor in other areas such as criminal justice, these programs are not appropriate for criminal justice majors.
