Forensics
Welcome to WKU Forensics!
To the University, Forensics is an opportunity to demonstrate academic excellence, to excel in competition of the intellect, and to extend the entire academic atmosphere.
To the student, Forensics is an opportunity to cultivate life-long friendships, travel the country, and receive college credit for what you already love to do. As a result of the incredibly supportive administration, the students in Forensics at WKU enjoy many benefits, which is why WKU is home to more high school and collegiate national champions than any other program in the country.
The benefits of being part of a championship team extend far beyond the WKU campus. Forensics graduates have been accepted, and excelled at, the top law, business, and graduate schools in the country.
