We are very proud to have received a full 5-year accreditation for the
BMFS Master’s program in January 2010. “FEPAC, the Forensic Science
Education Programs Accreditation Commission, accredits forensic science
education programs that lead to a bachelor's or master's degree in
forensic science or in a natural science with a forensic science
concentration.

FEPAC promotes academic quality through formal
accreditation of forensic science programs in the United States. All
programs that FEPAC accredits are located within institutions that are
accredited by a regional accreditation organization. The FEPAC
accreditation process and policies employ rigorous, consensus standards
that assure and advance academic quality at accredited institutions.” (aafs.org)
