Some of the most critical clues at a crime scene are not visible to the naked eye. They exist at a molecular level, like in a trace of accelerant, a fragment of explosive residue, or a fiber too small to notice. Forensic chemistry is the science that finds them. This program teaches you how.
The Micro Credential Program in Forensic Chemistry is an introductory course that explores the powerful role chemical analysis plays in finding the truth behind crimes. From toxic substances to arson debris to illicit materials, chemistry is often the silent witness, and this program gives you the foundation to interpret what it is saying.
You will learn what forensic chemistry covers, why it matters, and the legal frameworks that govern how chemical evidence is collected, analyzed, and presented along with an understanding of how this discipline blends into the forensic and justice ecosystem.
You will explore the different types of chemical evidence encountered in real investigations and the techniques used to detect and analyze them in different areas like fire and arson investigations, explosive residue analysis, and petroleum product examination, along with the methods, challenges, and forensic significance of each area. You will work across both qualitative and analytical approaches.
The program also introduces trace evidence analysis, including the study of materials such as fibers, paints, glass, and soil. Learners will gain insights into microscopic techniques and chemical testing methods used to examine trace materials and establish connections between crime scenes and suspects.
The course also covers the analysis of illicit liquor and alcohol, their classification, identification, and the preliminary testing methods used in the field. The program introduces you to emerging areas such as food forensics and the growing role of nanotechnology in chemical analysis.
By the end, you will have a strong foundation in forensic chemistry and the confidence to expand in this field and contribute to forensic investigation.
