About

The forensic science option prepares you for entry-level positions in state and federal forensic science labs as well as for graduate and professional schools. Competitive internships at regional forensic labs are integrated into the curriculum, along with research and independent study.

A partnership has been established with the Washington State Patrol Crime Laboratory Division. They provide internship opportunities for our students on a competitive basis. Guest lecturers are also provided throughout the course of study. For all internships with law enforcement agencies, you will be required to pass a thorough background check.
