Real evidence, real learning whether on campus, hybrid or online

Whether your courses are fully online, on campus or hybrid, our forensic science labs can help you elevate the learning experience for all students and reinforce critical concepts by:

  • Better preparing students with virtual pre-labs before in-person labs
  • Using at-home hands-on labs to create an experience comparable to on campus, helping students build practical skills applicable for additional courses and careers in forensic science
  • Supplementing hands-on labs with digital lessons like blood spatter analysis, DNA extraction, and documenting crime scenes
  • Balancing time spent on campus for hybrid students with convenient, accessible & efficient ways to engage in quality learning experiences
  • More easily expand sections to meet demand with hands-on kits for on-campus courses
