FORENSICS INVESTIGATIONS (MINOR)
Students minoring in Forensics Investigations (not to be confused with Forensic Science) will be introduced to the various techniques, tools and scientific tests used to investigate crime along with the application of these elements in a court of law. The minor focuses on several areas of forensics, from digital and financial evidence collection to crime scene evidence and laboratory processing and evaluation. Students will learn and understand the various ways law enforcement, mental health professionals, accountants, computer technicians, and scientists collect, process and evaluate evidence for use in legal proceedings.
Students majoring in the areas of Criminology and Criminal Justice, Psychology, Computer Science, Business Administration, Accounting and the Natural Sciences will enhance their professional tool belt with a minor in Forensics Investigations.
