Required lab coursework, which offers continuing education hours from the international Association for Identification, puts students in real crime scene scenarios, allowing them to analyze blood splatter, collect trace evidence, dust for fingerprints and reconstruct facial features to identify victims.

The CSI major integrates analytic and hands-on practical exercises with theoretical principles needed to work in areas such as crime scene, death investigations, medical examiner’s office, forensic lab and more. All courses are offered online or face to face.  Required hands on labs are offered in accelerated one week summer semesters.  During the program students will work real cold cases as well as mock crime scene scenarios.  Labs allow students to practice skills like blood spatter analysis, processing of fingerprints, facial reconstruction and buried bodies. All CSI specific labs are Approved by the International Association of Identification as training certification or continuing education hours.
