Forensic and investigative sciences applies scientific methods to questions of crime, public safety, and the legal system.
By integrating biology, chemistry, physics, and mathematics with criminal justice, forensic scientists analyze evidence and support the pursuit of justice.
We offer programs at the undergraduate and graduate levels, each providing hands-on experience, strong scientific foundations, and preparation for careers in forensic science and related fields.
We’re the only FEPAC-accredited forensic science program in Indiana.
Our FEPAC-accredited, interdisciplinary program combines biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, and criminal justice to prepare you for a career in forensic science or related scientific fields.

Our interdisciplinary bachelor's program combines principles of forensic science, computer science, criminal justice, and law to prepare you for a career in digital forensics, information security, cybercrime, and related fields.
You'll learn in an urban, research-active environment with strong connections to campus and city law enforcement, public agencies, and industry partners.
Our FEPAC-accredited graduate degree meets rigorour national standards for forensic science education.
This two-year program combines advanced scientific training with hands-on research, preparing you for professional roles in crime labs, government agencies, or advanced academic work.
This is a career-focused graduate degree you can typically complete in about one academic year. It’s ideal if you want practical skills and job readiness rather than research and a thesis project.
Even though it’s non-thesis, the curriculum still emphasizes real forensic techniques and scientific thinking that employers value.
