Competitive internships at regional forensic labs are integrated into the curriculum, along with research and independent study.<\/p>\n<p>A partnership has been established with the Washington State Patrol Crime Laboratory Division. They provide internship opportunities for our students on a competitive basis. Guest lecturers are also provided throughout the course of study.
