Looking for a Forensics Course

Question:
I am trying to find a forensics/forensic psychology class to take online. I am only interested in taking selected classes. I work, so I would have to do this online. The only choices I am being offered are degree-seeking choices. I have 2 associate degrees and am not interested in aiming for a BS at this time. Any help?

Thanks,

Micki Bradley

Answer:
You should have no problem finding a forensics or forensic psychology class online. In fact, online-education.net features a forensic science course. Many of these self-paced classes can be completed in a matter of months. In an introductory forensics course, you can expect to learn the fundamentals of crime scene investigation, including how to collect and handle evidence, analyze evidence in a laboratory, and prepare a report of your findings.

It might seem as if you have to commit to a full degree program because many individual classes refer to your 'graduation' and the diploma or certificate you can earn. These are not college degrees, but documents certifying your completion of that particular course. But don't discount these bragging rights! A diploma or certificate can give you a leg up when it comes time to apply for a forensics-related job or a degree program in the field, should you decide to continue your studies.
