This fall, the National Center for Media Forensics (NCMF) at The University of Colorado Denver is launching a master’s degree program focused on the forensic analysis of video and audio media evidence to educate the next generation of forensic media experts.

The NCMF was officially launched by Professor Richard Sanders in 2008 and has received over a million dollars in federal funding. Prof. Sanders, a world renowned media forensics expert, sadly passed away in 2009.

Jeff Smith, Interim Director of the Center said of the new Master's Program, "It is the only master’s level program in the country that focuses solely on the forensic analysis of video and audio media evidence."

Students graduating from the NCMF Masters program will find careers in academic research and education, research for corporate development, law enforcement as well as private practice.

NCMF is acquiring one of Ocean Systems complete-turnkey dTective Forensic Video, Image and Audio Analysis Systems with 10 additional copies of ClearID forensic image clarification software as key components of the new NCMF Classroom Lab.

“With the advent of recent opinions from Federal and State courts advocating the questioning of forensic evidence, we are seeing more orders for our solutions from educational institutions like the University of Colorado Denver because education and training in these matters is so critical.” said Angelo Guarino, President of Ocean Systems.
