Course Information

Help solve the tough cases

As a forensic science major at the University of New Haven, you will learn to use science and technology to uncover evidence that can "testify" in court and impact criminal or civil cases. You will sharpen your powers of observation and learn how to identify and interpret such evidence in one of the most respected forensic science programs in the country, a program enthusiastically endorsed by the Forensic Science Education Programs Accreditation Commission (FEPAC).

And, you will have the opportunity to study in the world-renowned Henry C. Lee Institute for Forensic Science. This state-of-the-art center – named after the legendary investigator – features working crime-scene labs and high-tech visual displays, and serves as a go-to resource for law enforcement agencies around the globe.

Here, and in mock crime scenes on campus, our students:

  • Learn to interpret physical evidence, provide objective insights, and become adept at the intricate science of forensics
  • Use the latest crime-solving resources and equipment while staying up-to-date on continuously changing developments and techniques
  • Work in interactive internship programs throughout the U.S. or engage in faculty-mentored research projects
  • Develop an uncommon degree of dedication and tenacity as they become part of a legacy started by famed investigator Dr. Henry C. Lee nearly 40 years ago
