The demand for in-field crime scene investigators is growing strongly within the world of law enforcement.
While shows like CSI have partially glamorized and dramatized the role of the Forensic Criminal Investigator, that doesn't mean it's not one of the most exciting careers out there. Unlike programs structured to train students to become laboratory forensic scientists, this challenging degree program prepares students to work as a law enforcement officer and function as an in-field crime scene investigator who collects, secures and preserves the physical evidence at crime scenes so critical to ensuring justice is served.
Note: For those students who are interested in studying forensic science as preparation for a career as a laboratory professional, 抖阴黄色app' Chemistry program with a concentration in forensic science may be a better option.

BACHELOR鈥橲 TO MASTER鈥橲 IN CRIMINAL JUSTICE OPTION
A Bachelor's to Master's option allows qualified undergraduates to complete the graduate MSCSJ (Master of Science in Criminal Justice) in less time than would be possible if the two programs would be taken separately. Nine graduate hours may be used to complete the Bachelor's degree (128 hours) and to satisfy specific course requirements for the Master's program. The total number of required graduate credits (36) will remain the same.
