Forensic Science & Criminalistics Academy Camp
The 2022 camp session has ended, we hope to see you in 2023!
Tiffin University Forensic Science & Criminalistics Academy Camp
If Law and Order, CSI and NCIS are on regular rotation and science has become a guilty pleasure, it is time to take it to the next level with Tiffin University Forensic Science & Criminalistics Academy Camp.
Especially for high school students in grades 9 through 12, campers will learn principles and tactics to assist criminal investigations through chemistry, biology and law – and become the star of their own show. Campers will work in small groups with high-level TU professors who have experience in crime scene analysis, secret service detail, forensic biology, chemistry and law.
