According to Forensics-School.com Marshall University has the #1 Forensic Science program in the nation beating out such prestigious schools as Penn State and George Washington University (which has fallen out of the top 10!). While Forensic Science isn’t quite as glamorous as it is depicted in the popular television franchise CSI it is a career field that has gained great exposure thanks to the series of shows under the CSI umbrella and both Huntington and Marshall are both poised to continue to capitalize on this trend thanks to the dedicated work of the faculty and staff at Marshall University that have made the department so well regarded. Honestly, I would do a disservice to both the department and the article at Forensics-School.com if I tried to tell you all the reasons the department is so great so go check out their article.

Now that your appetite for all things Marshall Forensics Sciences has been whet be sure to check out the State Journals article on the department. It’s clear that, from it’s humble beginnings Marshall’s Forensic Science program has grown into something both the University and the City can be proud of.
