About the course

The Master of Forensic Sciences in Forensic Molecular Biology (FMB) prepares students to work in crime laboratories as DNA analysts and technical leaders. Students pursuing the FEPAC-accredited degree learn to apply rigorous research and analysis skills to synthesize, interpret and understand crime scene evidence. Using state-of-the-art lab facilities, students learn chemical, physical, immunological and microscopic methods, and the theoretical and practical aspects of advanced methods, such as DNA extraction and data interpretation.

In their coursework, students might find themselves identifying body fluids at recreated crime scenes or participating in mock court cases. This simulated first-hand experience develops the ability to collect, protect and preserve evidence,

George Washington University

Since our capital city’s first days, people have traveled here for many reasons. They come to explore the past and to chart new futures. They come to ask questions and to seek expert answers. They come to start discourse and to remember in silence. They come to demand change and to be that change. They come to grow. They come to learn. They come to make history and join the ranks alongside many prominent GW alumni.
