Certificate in Forensic Investigations

Why study forensic investigations?

Crime thrillers, crime dramas, and forensic investigation shows have become such a popular genre for movies and television, and even some of the most popular podcasts. This media visibility continues to show new and larger audiences what crime and crime solving look like, Hollywood-style. But we don’t live in Hollywood, so how can you get the skills needed to become a CSI? Start with our certificate.

The need for forensic science technicians is projected to grow 14% over the next decade-much faster than other industries. Our certificate provides hands-on learning experiences in forensic science, investigative techniques, and criminal procedures. We can’t promise Hollywood, but we can give you the foundation to be even better (and more accurate) than what you see in movies and on television.
