Careers in Forensics
You can be a part of the world of Forensic Investigations. Take a look at the Certificate of Completion in Forensic Investigation. From this starting point there are four (4) distinct pathways you may wish to consider: Biology, Chemistry/Trace/Controlled Substances, Toxicology, or Firearms/QD/Prints. We offer a transfer degree to Arizona 4 year colleges. ASU's College of Human Services offers a Bachelor's degree in Criminology & Criminal Justice.
Check out the emerging field of Forensic Nursing. MCC offers classes that can get you started on an exciting career in Nursing.
