Graduate Admissions

Why WVU?

I dreamed since elementary school of being a forensic scientist, so when it came time to figure out which university to attend to pursue my dream, WVU was THE list. Not only because of the state-of-the-art facilities and unparalleled hands-on experience, but also the exceptional research at the forefront of forensic science.
