BLINN AND TEEX TO HOST INFORMATION SESSIONS FOR FORSENIC SCIENCE ACADEMY

  

The Blinn College District Criminal Justice Program will host three upcoming information sessions to introduce prospective students and community members to the Blinn-Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service (TEEX) Forensic Science Academy.

The Forensic Science Academy is a unique partnership that combines academic coursework with hands-on forensic investigation training.

The sessions will be held via Zoom on Monday, April 20, at 7:30 p.m.; Wednesday, April 29, at 7:30 p.m., and Wednesday, May 6, at 6:30 p.m. The May 6 session will also offer an in-person attendance option at the Blinn College-Bryan Campus Library.

Students in the Forensic Science Academy are co-enrolled at both Blinn and Texas A&M, making them eligible to earn Blinn’s Forensic Science Certificate and A&M’s Forensic Investigation and Evidence Management Professional Certificate.

In addition, students can earn 18 college credit hours that can be applied toward Blinn’s Associate of Applied Science in Criminal Justice Technology.

The program emphasizes hands-on training in key forensic disciplines, including crime scene investigation, forensic photography, latent print processing, and basic criminal investigation.

Because Blinn and TEEX have separate application processes, prospective students are encouraged to attend an information session to receive guidance on enrollment and program requirements.
