Laurentian University is pleased to announce that the Department of Forensic Science is the first in Canada to be granted full accreditation of its Forensic Science degrees through the American Academy of Forensic Sciences’ (AAFS) Forensic Science Education Program Accreditation Commission (FEPAC). What does the accreditation mean for our students? FEPAC accreditation is the 'gold standard' in the United States by which to judge forensic science degrees. For the first time, this standard is being applied in Canada. No accreditation system exists in Canada. Canada uses American standards for accreditations for agencies such as forensic labs. Canadian students now have the choice of being able to pursue a FEPAC-accredited forensic science degree within Canada. This accreditation is a means of assuring students and employers that the forensic science degree, faculty, program head, curriculum requirements and policies and procedures at this institution has been evaluated under the FEPAC system and that it has met or exceeded all of their standards. Therefore, our graduates have a better chance of employment or acceptance to forensic graduate programs. Please click here to view the rest of the press release.
