A fingerprint is an individual characteristic; no two people have been found with the exact same fingerprint pattern. Not even identical twins!
A fingerprint pattern will remain unchanged for the life of an individual.
Fingerprints have general characteristic ridge patterns that allow them to be systematically identified.
Arches (2 sub classes)
Loops (2 sub classes)
Whorls (3 sub classes)
Minutia- ridge endings, bifurcations, etc.
The program began in Fall 2015 with 7 CSI majors.

As of the this semester we have 57 CSI majors and will average about 10 new students in Fall & Spring and 5 in summer.
The Foundation has provided our lunch during labs, team dinner one night during lab week and travel assistance to those distance learners who need it. Our program is a success in large part because you help make it affordable for our students.
