National Park College (NPC) Criminal Justice program was named a Best Value CSI Associate Degree Program of 2020 by CrimeSceneInvestigatorEDU.org last month.

CrimeSceneInvestigatorEDU.org is an independent online publishing group providing students with unbiased information and resources on education and certification options, specialized job functions, employment opportunities, earning potential and more.

“Our exhaustive process to identify every affordable CSI associate’s program in the nation started off by laboriously combing through the lists of schools to make sure that each of them hold the basic academic qualifications necessary to deliver a quality degree that employers, courts, and jurors will respect,” the website report stated. The primary criteria for selection are accreditation standards and cost, but the organization also considers connections with law enforcement agencies and crime labs, internship opportunities, experienced faculty, and hands-on field work.

“With courses on topics like bloodstain pattern documentation and crime scene reconstruction and interpretation taught by the highly qualified instructors of the UA Criminal Justice Institute, you are getting the same CSI investigation education you would at a four-year school in the system, but at a fraction of the cost,” the report stated.
