Established at the Duquesne University School of Law in the fall of 2000, the Cyril H. Wecht Institute of Forensic Science and Law collaborates with the University’s Schools of Law, Nursing, Natural and Environmental Sciences, Business, Pharmacy, and Liberal Arts, as well as other academic institutions, to offer graduate degree and professional certificate programs in forensic science and law to a diverse group of students with backgrounds in nursing, law enforcement, pharmacy, business, the environmental sciences, psychology and many other disciplines.

The Wecht Institute also hosts an annual conference that convenes local and national experts from a wide variety of disciplines in an effort to shed light upon a particular set of issues.

As the first and only set of forensic science programs housed at a law school, the Institute is nationally unique.
