Facilities
Crime Scene House
At Seton Hill, we have a full-sized ranch-style house on campus that is dedicated to the creation of "crime" - and its solution. As a forensic science major, you will regularly use the knowledge you are gaining in the classroom and the laboratory to examine and analyze mock crime scenes constructed by your professors, and you will also have the chance to set up mock crime scenes of your own.
Classrooms and Laboratories
Seton Hill's natural and health sciences facilities include a molecular modeling laboratory that features a network of powerful
computers loaded with molecular modeling software programs, including HyperChem, PC Spartan Plus and ChemDraw. Classrooms and labs are equipped with modern technology and
instrumentation, including gas chromatographs, a gas
chromatograph/mass spectrometer (GC/MS), a nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer (Fourier Transform - NMR), a genetic analyzer
- capillary electrophoresis (ABI 310), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrophotometers (FT-IR) with microscope and
horizontal attenuated total reflectance (HATR), a high performance liquid chromatograph (HPLC), an atomic absorption
spectrometer (AAS), ultraviolet/visible spectrophotometers (UV-VIS), a fluorescence spectrometer, and an automatic digital polarimeter. The forensic science lab also includes compound microscopes equipped with phase contrast condensers, stereomicroscopes, and polarizing microscopes. Students in Seton Hill's Forensic Science Program
perform polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using an Eppendorf
thermal cycler.
