What is FIC School?

FIC School is a unique opportunity for local students to meet and learn from forensic scientists and other professionals from the New York State Police Crime Laboratory System. FIC School is based out of the Forensic Investigation Center in Albany, which is the main laboratory for the system. It meets several times per semester (see schedule below), with sessions exploring different disciplines of forensic science.

After each lecture session, students will have the opportunity to meet with forensic scientist mentors to answer any questions and for a more personal and in- depth look into the mentors’ own experiences. Students can apply this knowledge to their own academic and professional paths while also networking with students and faculty from other academic institutions.
