The program is a hybrid of criminal justice courses, basic science courses and forensic science courses. Since there are a significant number of WSU General Education classes in the required support courses, you should look up the program requirements before selecting your math, science and humanities GE classes. Students in the CSI concentration are not required to have a minor, but there are a number of good minors that complement.

On Jan. 1, 2023, Weber State University lost longtime forensic sceince professor, Russ Dean. While working at WSU for over 25 years, Russ Dean had an enormous impact on the crime scene investigation program curriculum and the forensic science students he worked with. Russ also influenced the community by playing an important role in the forensic science community by establishing the Weber Metro Crime Scene Unit (Weber County's first CSI unit) and remaning part of the conversation even after his retirement. Becuase of Russ's commitment to both Weber State and the community, a scholarship has been created in his honor that will assist Crime Scene Investigation Students.
