Two decades later, we maintain our status as a distinguished, premier, high-quality, hands-on program. In 2004 Laurentian University lead the country with the establishment of a full, independent Department of Forensic Science. This means that our department has its own dedicated research labs, teaching labs, curator, professors and adjunct professors. We are the first in the country to have such dedicated resources. With small class sizes and professors who are practitioners and researchers in forensic science, your education will be second to none. The Master of Forensic Science (MFS) has been approved to be delivered in May 2020.

In order to be considered for admission, applicants must present a four-year undergraduate degree or equivalent in Forensic Science. Preference will be given to degrees accredited by the Forensic Science Education Program Accreditation Commission (FEPAC). A minimum average of 75% is required.
