The Behavioral Forensics Certificate is an interdisciplinary course of study that focuses on ways society attempts to recognize and deal with various forms of criminal behavior. This certificate provides students with a structured pathway to explore the intersection of psychology and the legal system and to integrate related coursework into a coherent area of emphasis. Students should view this certificate only as a way to shape and organize their coursework in this particular area of study; the certificate provides evidence of a student’s foundational knowledge in behavioral forensics, which may be relevant to potential graduate schools and employers.
