Additional Comments: The Forensic DNA Science Program at MassBay Community College was the first degree program in DNA analysis in the world and remains the world's only such undergraduate program. The scientific prowess of MassBay forensic students is refined by two consecutive years of exciting, hands-on forensic work in real criminal and anthropological cases. Students have the rare opportunity to work on actual criminal and anthropological forensic DNA cases with the Biotech Program Director, Dr. Bruce Jackson. MassBay forensic students complete their degrees with an internship with one of the program's many renowned forensic partners, including: Armed Forces DNA Identification Labs (AFDIL), the FBI Forensic Labs, Massachusetts State Crime Lab, and Royal Canadian Mounted Police Forensic Labs.
