ABOUT FORENSIC SCIENCE
 With all the hype about crime scene investigation
(CSI) on television, careers and degrees in
forensic science are becoming more and more popular.
It is my philosophy to do what I can to help a student
become the most marketable he or she can be. I received my
bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice. Because I did not
want to limit my job possibilities, I chose to obtain a
Master in Public Administration rather than a Master of
Science or Arts in Criminal Justice. I want to help you
educate yourself in the area of forensic science so that
your job opportunities are not limited. Here are some
informational sites regarding forensic science that I feel
will be beneficial.
