Welcome to Forensic Sciences
Forensic science is the application of scientific methods to legal issues. This is an interdisciplinary field that may incorporate expertise as diverse as biology, chemistry, anthropology and statistics. Forensic scientists may be found engaging in such diverse areas as analyzing physical evidence associated with a crime scene, analyzing chemicals or drugs found at a crime scene or analyzing food to ensure lack of contamination, just to name a few examples.
Opportunities for a multidisciplinary forensic science education at SIUE include a BS in Chemistry, with a concentration in Forensic Chemistry, a Forensic Science minor and a MS in Forensic Sciences.
