ABSTRACT
A forensic science program has been developed to assist the professional community population in using a scientific approach in the investigation of criminal offenses. The science of medicine and the principles of the law come together to form a multidisciplinary group of professionals to instruct in the collection of evidence after a crime has been committed. Specialists in these areas include forensic pathologists, forensic anthropologists, forensic odontologists, entomologists, and a radiologist with a specialty in forensics. No longer can educators ignore the necessity of community involvement in the apprehension and prosecution of the perpetrators of crime. This program is the first to offer basic forensic science courses to professionals in a variety of related fields.
