Earn a certificate in crime scene investigation. In one year or less.
Demand is growing nationwide for crime scene investigators, both in security and police
fields. But not just any crime scene investigators; these fields require investigators
who not only are familiar with the procedures to record and process crime scenes appropriately
but who also have the relevant investigative skills.
This 12-credit, four-course undergraduate certificate program for students with a minimum of 60 transferable credits offers you the courses necessary to become a crime scene investigator within the
police framework and can be completed in one year or less.

continuing education
don't have a science degree and are looking for an alternative path to becoming a
crime scene investigator.
You'll learn:
how to protect and secure a crime scene
how to fully document the crime scene using text and photography
how to record and collect evidence, maintaining the scientific integrity of the evidence
in addition to the legal chain of custody
how to present and defend the findings of the investigation within a legal framework,
either in courts or in deposition.
