Program Details

Associate of Applied Science in Forensic Science

Associate of Applied Science
Patrick & Henry Community College

The curriculum is structured to provide an introduction to the basics of forensic investigation for students seriously considering this highly specialized field. In-service students are offered an opportunity to gain necessary educational credentials to assist them in achieving career development and promotional goals. The curriculum still retains enough general law enforcement education courses to be of benefit to pre-service students interested in entry-level law enforcement positions at the municipal, county, and state levels.
