FOR 181 - Forensic Science InternshipSemester Hours: 3
Fall, January, Spring, Summer
Students will spend seven to eight weeks during the summer between
their junior and senior years, or approximately 250 to 280 hours during
their junior or senior year, in a government crime lab or police
department. The internship provides students with “real-life”
experiences in the field of forensic science, and allows them to apply
techniques and knowledge from the classroom to actual criminal
investigations. Internship opportunities are arranged on an individual
basis and entail a two-week probationary period. A Hofstra faculty
member will coordinate the internships. In the event of a problem, the
faculty member will review the concerns of the student and mentor, and
every attempt will be made to place the student in a forensic
laboratory. No credit toward the B.A. degree in forensic science is
awarded until both FOR 180 and 181 are satisfactorily completed.
Prerequisites & Course Notes:
FOR 180. No liberal arts credit.
