It is the mission of The Cyril H. Wecht Institute of Forensic Science and Law to create and support multidisciplinary courses of degree and non-degree study designed to educate students about the vast applications and reach of the forensic sciences in today’s society.
The Wecht Institute and the Duquesne University School of Law collaborate with the University's schools of Nursing, Pharmacy, Natural and Environmental Sciences, and Graduate Business, as well as other academic institutions throughout the region and beyond, to educate students about the relationship between forensic science and law in our criminal and civil justice institutions.
The Wecht Institute seeks to inform the local and national communities about the revolutionary impact of the forensic sciences through scholarship, conferences, seminars, workshops and publications. It also seeks to engender in all of its participants a multidisciplinary approach to applying science to the law in our collective search for the truth.
