CSI Camp

Waynesburg University's CSI Camp provides an irreplaceable hands-on experience for high school students interested in careers in forensic science and criminal justice.

CSI Camp 2023

CSI Camp will be held from June 12 to 16, 2023, and is designed to give students hands-on experience of what they can expect in the forensic science and criminal justice majors and, ultimately, occupations.
