Forensic Science Master's Degrees in West Virginia

The scientific examination of evidence, with laboratory coursework in chemistry, biology and related natural sciences and, in many programs, an internship or capstone. Laboratory forensic science is a natural-science field. A criminal justice degree with forensic courses or a concentration is a different thing and is labelled as such. Programs appear here only when official curriculum evidence supports the subject: a named concentration or track, or the degree's own required core — never a topic covered in one or two courses.

Listings in West Virginia identify where the school (or the campus that delivers the program) is located. For online programs this is not a requirement to live there, and an online degree based in West Virginia is not automatically open to residents of every state.
