Find a school close-to-home

Ten years ago, you had to pack up your stuff and drive 10 hours to find a decent forensics training program. No longer. There's one in every state in the country. Take your pick!

Connecticut Forensics

Post University

Forensic Accounting at Post University

Post's Online University offers a Certificate Program in Forensic Accounting, compressing into 8-weeks a close study of fraudulent financial records, financial investigation, theft, corruption, kickbacks and bribery. More advanced topics you'll study include hidden assets during a divorce, bankruptcy, money laundering and identity theft. A nice upside of this course is that it is offered entirely online, and can give you the background you need to pursue more advance accounting training toward a forensic accounting degree and CPA certification.

Bio & Environmental Forensics at Post University

Post U. has two forensics courses in the Biology and Environmental Science departments, both 100-level, that can give you a general overview of forensics. The first course is a 3-credit lecture, looking at DNA fingerprinting, trace evidence analysis, blood ID, spectrophotometry and chromatography. There's also a 2-credit lab course, where you can try the techniques out first-hand. Both of these courses require an introductory biology or environmental science course and the permission of the instructor. The lecture course is also co-listed in the biology department, also at a 100-level course, so this might be better for your scheduling demands.
