SUPA CHE 113
Forensic Science
Syracuse University credit: 4 credits
This course is intended to provide an introduction to understanding the science behind
crime detection. Recent advances in scientific methods and principles have had an enormous
impact upon law enforcement and the entire criminal justice system, and this course will present
a number of those methods that are relevant to crime detection and analysis. The course will
emphasize the techniques used in evaluating physical evidence; laboratory exercises will include
techniques commonly employed in forensic investigations. Topics included are blood analysis,
organic and inorganic evidence analysis, microscopic investigations, hair analysis, DNA, drug
chemistry and toxicology, fiber comparisons, paints, glass composition and fragmentation,
fingerprints, soil comparisons, and arson investigations, among others. This is a college course
offered through Syracuse University, and students paying the (discounted) fee for SU credit will
receive a Syracuse University transcript.
Grading will be based on Woodbridge Township School District's Policy for a college-level course:
75% Major (Exams, major laboratory reports, and major projects)
25% Minor (Homework, Class Activities)
