As a lab rat in a forensic toxicology laboratory, I felt it was my duty to go back to school to seek a higher degree. I was referred to this program by a highly skill forensic toxicology and a CEO of a nationally known forensic toxicology laboratory. So far, this program has not disappointed. Thanks UFL! I'm halfway to a master's degree in Forensic Toxicology.

As a person who was already working in forensics with a B.S. in chemistry , I can say without any reservation this was a excellent program. It is part of the university of Florida, that is where I did my finals ,and graduated from and what my degree states. I had the same professor as on campus students with the same books, test and homework. The main difference was I read the lectures instead of listening to them. I graduated with a double major in forensic chemistry and toxicology. My professor were very helpful, and the staff was great with any issues that came up. I am proud to say this program made me want to proclaim...it great to be a gator.

As a graduate of the Forensic Toxicology program (part of the veterinary program at U of F) I found the program to be totally high quality. The professors were all readily available and have extensive knowledge. This was my first experience with the U of F and I now I consider myself a full fledged gator even though I live miles away. At 67 years of age I hold 3 BS degrees, 3 MS degrees, a PhD and I am working on a 2nd PhD ... therefore I would say I am familiar with education. My professional life has been and is in the fields of environmental health, safety, nursing, and psychology. The forensic program I undertook I rate at the top of my education. The program is professional. You are expected to be a student that can work independently and not be spoon fed the answers. Because of the aspect that this is a distance program and you don't have a fellow student sitting next to you, you must be willing to recognize when you need assistance and be prepare to ask for help. When I was in the program I had a world of fellow students that were all very willing to assist with problems or questions ... this was also true of every professor or instructor. The textbooks are the standard books used in the profession. The knowledge I gained from my U of F program I am using daily in my position as a Environmental Health & Safety Coordinator and also as a PhD student in Veterinary Science (Not at the U of F only because of distance and research interest). I routinely advise students to contact the U of F about the forensic program. This is not a give me program ... be prepared to take your education into your own hands and grow into a lifetime learner.
