NA On Campus Certificate Program

Saint Marys University

Program Overview

Forensic science applies scientific knowledge to legal matters. Forensic scientists strive to provide impartial evidence for use in courts to support the prosecution or defense in criminal and civil investigations. Saint Mary's University has the only forensic science program east of Toronto, and you can apply for this program during the first year of your undergraduate degree.Our certificate program provides a unique opportunity to learn first-hand from instructors who also "do" forensic science: many of our core courses are taught by working professionals involved with criminal investigations on a regular basis. These include local experts in fingerprinting, blood spatter analysis, as well as the Chief Medical Examiner of Nova Scotia.Most students take the Forensic Sciences Certificate at the same time as a BSc (usually Biology or Chemistry). You can also combine the Forensic Sciences Certificate with a BA in Criminology.
