CJ V59 — Capstone Project in Forensic Science
This course provides crime scene processing and evidence collection and analysis experience by integrating the knowledge gained in previous coursework related to the forensic sciences. Utilizing a complex mock crime scene, this course is designed to simulate a “Competency Test,” which is a requirement at the culmination of any training program at an accredited forensic laboratory. The final product of the competency test will be structured as a student portfolio, which has the potential of being presented when applying for employment in the field crime scene investigation and/or forensic lab disciplines. An internship with a local law enforcement agency or forensic laboratory may be completed in lieu of this capstone project.
