Certificate Program

By taking advantage of our multiple education and training options, certificates are available in Forensic toxicology, chemistry and biology. Upon successful completion of a mixture of academic courses, continuing education workshops, internships, job shadowing and/or research required for the specific certificate program, participants will receive a Center for Forensic Science Research & Education certificate in their chosen specialty.
