Where Can I Study Computer Forensics?

Porthos asks: "Like many in the Slashdot community (though not all), I'm kind of bored at work. With tech work, there's always something more interesting than what I'm doing because I only have a few years experience and a Bachelor's degree. I want to go to grad school to study Computer Forensics, but I haven't a clue about where to start. Have any Slashdot readers taken this path? Are there any major universities that cater to this field? I know that some organizations, such as the FBI, have teams dedicated to Computer Forensics, but what is the rest of the forensics job market like?"

who study data recovery end up going into computer forensics (that's a huge part of the field).

If you watch enough episodes of The New Detectives, you'll see them figure out how to rescue data off of badly beaten and formatted floppies.
