2019-2020 Undergraduate Catalog [ARCHIVED CATALOG]
Forensics Certificate
|
|
The Forensics certificate provides recognition for students completing the required core curriculum and electives of forensics-related classes from at least two academic departments. Certification will provide students with an introduction to the topic and may assist them in their future job searches. By itself the certificate is not sufficiently comprehensive to indicate a student is highly trained in forensic science.

Required Courses Credits: 15
Courses may be taken in any order, although the Introduction to Forensics course is recommended to be taken early. It is acceptable to count any of these courses in a major as well as in the certificate.
