Program Information

Degree Offered

Master of Science in Forensic Studies

Program Description:

With the cost of U.S. economic crime growing dramatically – nearly doubling over the last decade to at least $200 billion annually – many accounting firms, law firms, and government agencies incorporate forensic teams into their practices. Forensic specialist is a general term for an individual or expert who examines evidence for the purpose of presenting the findings in a court of law. The forensics team includes technicians who maintain the chain of evidence, information technology professionals who analyze electronic data, field personnel who handle the investigative process, accountants, insurance fraud investigators, damage claims specialists, auditors, and computer forensic experts.

In this program students develop marketable skills sought after by public and private sector employers and the justice system. Accomplished faculty with real world experience and achievement ensure students demonstrate technical and core competencies, critical thinking, and effective communication both orally and in writing. Students have the opportunity to have their writing published in Stevenson University’s Forensics Journal, a scholarly review.
