Program Description:

The University of Florida online forensic science program is designed to meet the needs of today's working professionals. There are four areas of concentration, each offering a certificate or master's degree option. Each course is conducted online and is made up of specific topic modules. Most modules contain course notes supplemented with images, animations, and case studies, as well as step-by-step instructions for gearing up and accessing UF library materials and e-journals. Students have 24/7 access to course modules, which are released over the duration of the UF semester, enabling them to work at their own pace, on their own schedule. Assessment is continuous throughout the semester. Grades are based on the successful completion of a written assignment at the end of each module. Some courses also include timed multiple choice quizzes and self tests. Assignment due dates and other important dates are provided on a course calendar. Students interact with teaching assistants, course instructors, and each other, using private course e-mail, discussion boards, and live chat sessions.
