Champlain College was one of the first, if not the first, to offer a dedicated digital forensics program in 2003. Since that time the programs have continued to evolve. The college places a strong emphasis on professional education, and to that end employs faculty who have real-world experience combined with relevant academic qualifications. Faculty teaching digital forensics courses have a range of experience from both the law enforcement and private sector, including the FBI, the State’s Attorney, police officers and corporate consultants.
