Forensic Science Academy Camp
Join us This summer! June 9 – 13, 2025.
Tiffin University Forensic Science 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 Academy Camp.
Especially for high school students entering junior and seniors, campers will learn principles and tactics to assist criminal investigations through chemistry, biology, and analyzing real and recent crime scenes from coroners across the country,- and become the star of their own show. Campers will work in small groups with high-level TU professors with field experience alongside experts currently working in the fields of crime scene analysis, fire forensics, blood spatter, forensic biology and forensic chemistry. Campers will also learn how to handle the mental and emotional challenges of this kind of career from current and past Death Investigators and Coroners.
