Certificates
The Department of Criminal Justice, in conjunction with CSULB's University College and Extension Services, offers the following certificates:
- Basic Applied Forensics: This certificate program provides an overview of major areas in the forensic sciences giving students a competitive edge in criminal justice careers. The skills and knowledge obtained in this program may also qualify students for special forensic science assignments within law enforcement agencies.
- Internet-Based Crime & Identity Theft: The Internet-Based Crime & Identity Theft Certificate provides an overview of the most important aspects of computer, internet, child pornography, and fraud crimes. Identity theft, the proliferation of child pornography, and the vast amount of data traveling over the Internet require effective enforcement strategies. Law enforcement, legal professionals, and consumers, must acquire the skills and tools to provide public protection.
