AASU to Offer Certificate in Forensic Science

Savannah, GA—Armstrong Atlantic State University's College of Arts and Sciences announces the creation of a new certificate program in forensic science.

"As the methodology of criminal investigators becomes more firmly rooted in the natural and physical sciences, it is important that practitioners in the criminal justice system have a better foundation in the sciences," said Ed Wheeler, dean of AASU's College of Arts and Sciences. "It is also important that more persons whose primary training is in the sciences become criminal justice professionals."

This certificate will be of interest primarily to undergraduate students with majors or minors in biology, chemistry, or criminal justice and to post baccalaureate students who have substantial academic backgrounds in biology or chemistry. Students will receive a Certificate in Forensic Science after completion of six approved courses in biology, chemistry and criminal justice.

For more information about the certificate program in forensic science, call Dr. Robert Kolodny at 912.921.5658 or kolodnro@mail.armstrong.edu.
