Criminal Justice is a challenging, exciting and rewarding career. The 4-year Criminal Justice major will prepare you for the profession, help you advance if you’re already in it, and/or also prepare you for graduate school. Among the areas covered by the Forensic Investigations concentration are: – analyzing crime scenes to determine evidence to be collected – taking photographs of the crime scene and evidence – creating records of observations and findings – learning to collect evidence, including weapons, fingerprints, and bodily fluids – learning to catalog and preserve evidence for transfer to crime labs – reconstructing crime scenes.
