*Topics selected by students for FORS 4095 must be approved by the Head of the Forensic Science.  This course is strongly recommended for students wishing to pursue graduate studies.

**This is only open to students in the summer prior to starting their academic fourth-year or in their fourth-year.  The number of placements is limited and will therefore require students to apply to the Forensic Internship Coordinator for consideration.  The placement will be on the basis of the overall average of the previous three years in the Forensic Science Program, and résumé, and finding a suitable placement.

Please Note: It is the responsibility of students in the Forensic Science Program to check that they have completed all the degree requirements as listed above.  Any deviation from this list may delay graduation.

If you require any further information, please consult the website or make an appointment through the Department Secretary, Ms. Leeanne Croteau in the Department Office (F-323), by emailing Leeanne Croteau or calling ext. 4272 to see Ms. Tracy Oost, the Academic Advisor for the Department of Forensic Science.
