Crime Scene Investigator Degree??

[1bushmaster]

Hello,
Let me say first, I do not attend ITT, nor do I intend to. I do have a relative who started attending ITT and enrolled into their Crime Scene Investigator program. I am curious to see if there are any others enrolled in the same program? The campus is the Tucson AZ. one.
I work for a police department in the communications section. We are a small department and do not have a CSI dept. or anyone qualified to do so. If needed, we would use the county, city, etc.. My other questions are really my own curiousity about the program and the ability for a graduate to get a job in that field.
I have never seen an opening, either in a newspaper or in any other medium for a CSI to be employed by a department, how do they convince a student to enroll in that program?
What do they tell perspective students they will start making once they receive a degree? And where are these jobs?
In asking the officers here, most CSI's are either retired cops, cops on a disability, friends of the chief, or actual CSI's with degrees in forensic science, biology, doctors, or consultants. Again, how or what is said to convince there is a career with an ITT degree?
The commercials make my skin crawl, yet I know that is what convinced my Sister-in-Law to attend. Well...that and no finding a job elsewhere. School seems to be a good place to "hide" these days.
What would be a good arguement to get someone to drop from the program? I'd really love to put up a good fight before I watch more of my Mother-in-Laws money get pissed away.
This is a pretty good site, I'm glad someone put it together

I guess I'd start with this link:

Also have her spend a few hours browsing this site.

It should just be a matter of degree value and cost. Maybe there's another college near her can attend? Regarding your other questions, I'm not one to say. The degree you mentioned doesn't really exist based on ITT's own website. Ask her what's up with that.

Me too! Seven rocks.

I would start looking at job openings in her field, if you can't find any in your area, try major cities near you. Look at the education and experience requirements, then look at the ITT curriculum vs community college curriculum. That should be a good enough argument, then you can talk tuition prices.
