Suggested Criminalistics Courses

A criminalistics course should teach the student about crime scene procedures, evidence handling, and the role of various people in the law enforcement process.

We recommend looking at taking some courses at the Community College of RI (CCRI) which URI will accept for transfer credit and as a course in the criminalistics/law category of the Digital Forensics Minor. Here are some (go to CCRI's Law Enforcement Program Web site for detail):

• LAWS 1010 Criminal Law
• LAWS 1000 Intro To Law Enforcement
• LAWS 1030 Criminalistics I
• LAWS 1040 Criminalistics II
• LAWS 2010 Law of Evidence
• LAWS 2000 Constitutional Law

At URI these courses meet the requirement:

• CHM 391 Forensic Science Seminar. This is a one-credit course offered every semester. This course requires you to attend weekly seminar talks given by a speaker on a forensic science topic and write a brief synopsis on each. This course alone does not fulfill the criminalistics requirement, but can be a good way to earn a final credit toward the minor.
• CHM 392 Criminalistics. This is offered every even Spring (06, 08, etc). It has a Chemistry focus, but does address general criminalistics and has been taken by non-Chemistry majors.
