Teacher Prep Program in Forensic Science

The NJIT Forensic Science Initiative (FSI) Teacher Prep Program ran as a stand-alone program for 4 years to help teachers prepare to teach Forensic Science to high school students. Teachers completing the program became qualified to teach FRSC 201 Introduction to Forensic Science as a dual enrollment course using an enhanced NJIT syllabus.

In addition to continuing as a vibrant community of professional learners, the FSI teachers now share their techniques with fellow teachers in all disciplines as master coaches in the NJIT Pre-College Teacher Prep for College Access (TPCA) Program.

Teachers who are new to teaching an NJIT Forensic Science course will become part of the Teacher Prep for College Access (TPCA) Program.
