Forensic Science

The forensic science concentration takes the foundation knowledge of microbiology and genetics and combines it with areas of psychology, chemistry, and criminal justice to provide Iowa Wesleyan University students with the cognitive resources and investigative skills to pursue forensics as a career. Laboratories include analysis of physical and chemical evidence, as well as DNA extraction/analysis and crime scene investigations. Students graduating with this concentration will be competitive for graduate programs in forensics, psychology and criminology depending on the course focus.
