This survey of the educational offerings in the Forensic Sciences was initiated to identify institutions and agencies offering educational courses and/or programs in the forensic sciences and to evaluate the availability of these programs. The information gathered by surveying members of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences reveals that comprehensive, degree-oriented educational programs in the various disciplines of the forensic sciences are extremely rare; many of the courses offered are on an introductory or survey level; advanced degree programs in Forensic/Analytical Toxicology are few; and educational offerings in Physical Anthropology are sparse with education in Forensic Anthropology virtually nonexistent. The authors recommend that a study be made of the need for degree programs in the forensic sciences; forensic science recruitment and counseling should be initiated at the college level; and information regarding educational opportunities in the forensic sciences should be made available to law enforcement agencies, criminalistics laboratories, medical examiner/coroner offices, district attorney offices, bar associations, court systems, and professional societies concerned with the various disciplines of the forensic sciences.
