1 FAYETTEVILLE STATE UNIVERSITY FAYETTEVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA FACULTY SENATE ACADEMIC AFFAIRS COMMITTEE PROPOSAL PRESENTATION COVER SHEET (Proposal from College of Arts and Sciences) I. Proposal: Notification of Intent to Plan a New Bachelor of Science in Forensic Science Degree Program II. Purpose: The mission of the Bachelor of Science degree program in Forensic Science is to produce technically skilled and educated graduates who have a basic foundation in the scientific and laboratory problem solving skills necessary for success in a modern crime laboratory, and who will contribute to the forensic science community. Upon completion of the program, graduates will be prepared to function as forensic scientists and specialists, or for advanced study in forensic science, biomedical research, medicine, and law. III. Rationale: The demand for trained forensic scientists nationwide is increasing as a result of the great backlog of criminal cases and the dependence of criminal cases on forensic analyses. Data obtained from the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics ( indicates that in the year 2000, the total employment for the Forensic Science technician occupation in all industries was 6,400. It is anticipated that by the year 2010 the number of jobs held by Forensic Science technicians will increase by 13% (to 7,230). A recent report (www. fbi.gov/hq/lab/fsc/current/2003_10_research01.htm) proposed that agencies estimate staffing needs on a ratio of one forensic scientist to approximately 30,000 people. Given that the current population of the United States is more than 292 million, this ratio would indicate a current need of over 9,700 forensic scientists. To meet this need, we would need to increase the number of forensic scientists by over 3300 or more than 50% of the current number. Nationwide, only about 20 colleges or universities offer bachelor's degree programs in forensic technology ( Currently there is only one institution in the state of North Carolina (Guilford College) that offers a 4-year degree in the field of forensic science (Forensic Biology). No institution in the state offers a baccalaureate degree in Forensic Science with the two concentration options of Forensic Biology and Forensic Chemistry as described in this proposal. Each concentration will require 124 semester credit hours of course work. There will be 45 credits in the University College Core which provides a strong liberal arts foundation, 32 hours in Natural file:///c /Documents%20and%20Settings/shesseltine/Desktop/faculty_senate/ /senmotion htm (1 of 7)2/12/2010 5:18:04 PM

2 Sciences core courses, 19 hours in concentration courses (forensic biology concentration or forensic chemistry concentration), and 28 hours in forensic science and criminal justice core and forensic laboratory science courses. IV. To be presented to: (in succession to each of the following) Departmental Curriculum Committee, Departmental faculty, CAS Academic Affairs Committee, CAS Dean, (Teacher Education Committee for all teacher education programs), Faculty Senate Academic Affairs Committee, Faculty Senate, Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, Chancellor V. Submitted by: Bertha H. Miller, Dean; Dr. Murthy Pinapaka, Department of Natural Sciences; and Dr. Juliette B. Bell, Department of Natural Sciences. VI. Number of Copies: 47 VII. Will this proposal, if implemented, require either additional faculty or other resources? If yes, explain how these resources will be provided: The proposed BS in Forensic Science program will take advantage of many training resources already available in the Departments of Natural Sciences and Criminal Justice. However, faculty, facilities, equipment, library resources and other materials must be enhanced to meet the training needs of the new program. Specifically, faculty with expertise in forensic science will be needed to train students in the forensic core and forensic laboratory areas. Additional equipment to facilitate the forensic laboratory courses will also be required. These resources will be provided through new hires in existing faculty slots and by reallocation of departmental resources. Additional funding from the university, outside agencies, and through grants may also be pursued.

Describe the proposed new degree program. The description should include: a. Brief description of the program and a statement of educational objectives 1.) Program Description The study of Forensic Science engages students in the application of scientific principles and methods for the evaluation of evidence. The mission of the Bachelor of Science degree program in Forensic Science is to produce technically skilled and educated graduates who have a basic foundation in the scientific and laboratory problem solving skills necessary for success in a modern crime laboratory, and who will contribute to the forensic science community. Students will receive preparation in areas such as DNA analysis, forensic biology, forensic chemistry, and toxicology. The program will also equip students with the knowledge and skills needed to prepare reports documenting their findings and laboratory techniques used, and to provide expert witness testimony on specific laboratory findings. Upon completion of the Forensic Science program, graduates will be prepared to function as forensic scientists and specialists, or for advanced study in forensic science, biomedical research, medicine, and law. The Bachelor of Science in Forensic Science will consist of two concentrations: Forensic Biology and Forensic Chemistry. Each concentration will require 124 semester credit hours of course work. There will be 45 credits in the University College Core which provides a strong liberal arts foundation, 32 hours in Natural Sciences core courses, 19 hours in concentration courses (forensic biology concentration or forensic chemistry concentration), and 28 hours in forensic science and criminal justice core and forensic laboratory science courses. file:///c /Documents%20and%20Settings/shesseltine/Desktop/faculty_senate/ /senmotion htm (4 of 7)2/12/2010 5:18:04 PM

5 2.) Educational Objectives The educational objectives of the proposed Bachelor of Science in Forensic Science are consistent with the mission of Fayetteville State University and the accreditation standards of the Forensic Science Education Programs Accreditation Commission (FEPAC) of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences ( Students should be able to: a.) Synthesize empirical and theoretical knowledge from the natural sciences core, specialty core, forensic core, criminal justice, and laboratory science courses as well as the University College core courses in social sciences, mathematics, English, and the humanities to effectively provide service to the forensic science community; b.) Demonstrate competency in performing laboratory analysis of biological samples, crime scene investigation, and evidence documentation; c.) Demonstrate the acquisition of skills and experiences in the application of basic forensic science concepts and of specialty knowledge to problem solving; d.) Exhibit an orientation in professional values and concepts of ethics appropriate to the area of forensic science and law; e.) Demonstrate the integration of knowledge and skills through a capstone experience; f.) Exhibit excellent written and oral communication skills; g.) Demonstrate knowledge of and appreciation for the issues specific to forensic science. b. The relationship of the proposed new program to the institutional mission and how the program fits into the institution s strategic plan. The mission of the proposed BS in Forensic Science program flows from the mission and strategic plan of Fayetteville State University. The mission of FSU is to be a comprehensive regional university offering degrees at the baccalaureate, master s and doctoral levels. The primary mission is to provide quality education to its students through a basic liberal arts foundation, specialized professional training, and specific graduate programs. The proposed BS in Forensic Science program is at the bachelor s level and is designed to provide students with a quality education that will prepare them for employment in the Forensic Science profession or for further study leading to advanced degrees. This program will produce highly trained forensic scientists to help alleviate the backlog of criminal cases requiring forensic investigations throughout the state and nation. This new and exciting program will also assist FSU in reaching its strategic plan s goal of increasing the student population to 6,000 by c. The relationship of the proposed new program to other existing programs at the institution. The proposed BS in Forensic Science program will be an interdisciplinary program incorporating the areas of biology, chemistry, and criminal justice. In addition to attracting new students, this new degree program will provide career options in Forensic Biology and Forensic Chemistry for the more than 700 current FSU majors in Criminal Justice, Biology and Chemistry. Future expansion of the program might include concentration options in Criminalistics and Forensic Physics. The proposed BS in Forensic Science program will take advantage of many training resources already available in the Departments of Natural Sciences and Criminal Justice. However, faculty, facilities, equipment, library resources and other materials must be enhanced to meet the training needs of the new program. Specifically, faculty with file:///c /Documents%20and%20Settings/shesseltine/Desktop/faculty_senate/ /senmotion htm (5 of 7)2/12/2010 5:18:04 PM

6 expertise in forensic science will be needed to train students in the forensic core and forensic laboratory areas. Additional equipment to facilitate the forensic laboratory courses will also be required. d. Special features or conditions that make the institution a desirable, unique, or appropriate place to initiate such a degree program. The demand for trained forensic scientists nationwide is increasing as a result of the great backlog of criminal cases and the dependence of criminal cases on forensic analyses. Data obtained from the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics ( indicated that in the year 2000, the total employment for the Forensic Science technician occupation in all industries was 6,400. It is anticipated that by the year 2010 the number of jobs held by Forensic Science technicians will increase by 13% (to 7,230).* A recent report proposed that agencies estimate staffing needs on a ratio of one forensic scientist to approximately 30,000 people ( current/2003_10_research01.htm). Given that the current population of the United States is more than 292 million, this ratio would indicate a current need of over 9,700 forensic scientists. To meet this need, we would need to increase the number of forensic scientists by over 3300, or more than 50% of the current number. Nationwide, only about 20 colleges or universities offer bachelor's degree programs in forensic technology, often with an emphasis in a specialty area, such as criminalistics, pathology, jurisprudence, odontology, or toxicology ( In contrast to some other science technician positions that require only a 2-year degree, a 4-year degree in forensic science is usually necessary to work in the field of forensic science. According to a listing by the American Academy of Forensic Sciences ( there is currently only one institution in the state of North Carolina (Guilford College) that offers a 4-year degree in the field of forensic science (Forensic Biology). Two others, Appalachian State University and University of North Carolina at Pembroke, offer concentrations in forensics. No other university in the state offers a baccalaureate degree in Forensic Science with the two concentration options of Forensic Biology and Forensic Chemistry as described in this proposal. Thus, our program would serve as a unique and needed source of trained forensic biologists and chemists for the state of North Carolina. Our close proximity to the major criminal investigations laboratory for the State of North Carolina, located just seventy miles from Fayetteville in Raleigh, North Carolina, is another special feature of our proposed program. 2. List all other public and private institutions of higher education in North Carolina currently operating programs similar to the proposed new degree program. Guilford College (BA in Forensic Biology) Appalachian State University (BS Chemistry with a Forensic Science Concentration) University of North Carolina at Pembroke (BS Chemistry with Forensic Chemistry Concentration) Forsyth Technical Community College (AAS Criminal Justice Technology/Latent Evidence) Fayetteville Technical Community College (AAS Criminal Justice Technology/Latent Evidence) 3. Estimate the number of students that would be enrolled in the program during the first year of operation: Full-Time 20 Part-Time 10 file:///c /Documents%20and%20Settings/shesseltine/Desktop/faculty_senate/ /senmotion htm (6 of 7)2/12/2010 5:18:04 PM

7 4. If there are plans to offer the program away from campus during the first year of operation: The program will not be offered off campus during the first year of operation. a) briefly describe these plans, including potential sites and possible method(s) of delivering instruction. b) indicate any similar programs being offered off-campus in North Carolina by other institutions (public or private) c) estimate the number of students that would be enrolled in the program during the first year of operation: Full-Time Part-Time 5. List the names, titles, addresses and telephone numbers of the person(s) responsible for planning the proposed program. Dr. Bertha H. Miller, Dean, College of Arts and Sciences Dr. Murthy Pinapaka, Chair, Department of Natural Sciences Dr. Juliette B. Bell, Professor of Chemistry This intent to plan a new program has been reviewed and approved by the appropriate campus committees and authorities.
