Forensic Science Courses

Forensic science courses can help you learn crime scene investigation techniques, evidence collection methods, and the analysis of physical evidence. You can build skills in fingerprint analysis, toxicology, and DNA profiling, which are crucial for solving cases. Many courses introduce tools like forensic databases, microscopy equipment, and software for crime scene reconstruction, showing how these skills are applied in real investigations.
