Crime Scene Investigation (Collaborative Program)

The Crime Scene Investigation Certificate is only for individuals employed by a law enforcement agency. Students who enroll in this program of study will obtain twenty-seven to thirty degree hours by completing basic law enforcement training at an ACLEST-accredited academy and attending advanced courses presented by the Criminal Justice Institute of the University of Arkansas. Each grouping of allowable courses meets or exceeds the requirement of a minimum of forty-five classroom hours to receive three hours of credit. Taking an additional six to nine credit hours from North Arkansas College will complete this certificate. This is the second step of a three-step process for completing an A.A.S. in Crime Scene Investigation.
