The Criminal Investigation degree offers a strong academic background in investigative techniques, forensic science, evidence collection and analysis. The program is for students who wish to complete an associate's degree and enter the law enforcement field. The Criminal Investigation program is closely aligned with the college's Criminal Justice A.A.S. degree which concentrates on law, corrections, administration, criminology and community policing and the Forensic Science Studies A.S. degree, which prepares graduates exclusively for work in a laboratory environment.
There is overlap between these fields of study, hence it is recommended that the student consult the various subject guide pages:
