FEPAC program accreditation

None of this school's listed programs appears in FEPAC's accredited-program list. FEPAC accredits forensic science programs only and is optional; its absence does not make a program ineligible here.

Institutional accreditation covers the institution. It does not mean every program is FEPAC-accredited — FEPAC accredits individual programs, and we show it only for the program FEPAC lists.

Forensic labs, centers and student groups

As described on the school's own pages.
