Department of Forensic Science

In March of 2004 the Laurentian University Senate passed the creation of the new and independent Department of Forensic Science. This Department has its own resources, faculty, support staff and research. Our faculty consists of forensic practitioners who bring their knowledge of forensic science directly to the classroom and teaching laboratory. What Is Forensic Science? Forensic Science is the application of scientific principles and procedures to legal contexts.
