Introduction to Digital Forensics Course - U. of Alaska at Fairbanks
The computer science department at Alaska Fairbanks offers a 3-credit course on forensic examination using computers.

Specifically, you'll learn how to process a hard drive, manage emails and malicious code. There are prerequisites, however: you must have the permission of the teacher, and have taken a 300-level course in computer science. The course is offered only on odd-numbered years.
Alaska Summer Research Academy (for High School Students) - U. of Alaska at Fairbanks
The Alaska Summer Research Academy (ASRA) offers high-school students two weeks of high-intensity, college-grade training on a number of subjects, forensics included, that results in a single college credit. The program pairs eight students with two instructors, focusing on a single subject in a variety of disciplines. Forensics, one of the choices, is probably the most popular of the bunch: you get to work a mock crime scene in the Alaska wilderness with members of the Alaska Dept. of Fish and Game. This includes processing the crime scene and collecting evidence; soil and paint analysis; DNA, toxicology, arson, tool impressions, forensic entomology, document analysis and forensic law.
