Georgetown University offers a number of summer camps for high schoolers, including a two-week Forensic Science Academy. In this program, your teen will learn everything they need to know about the field of forensic science from professionals in the industry.
The program teaches students through a variety of lectures, field trips, exercises, mock crime scenes, and other interactive activities. Teens will meet and talk with investigators and forensic practitioners, as well as hear speakers from DC's Department of Forensic Science and Police Department. They'll develop their critical thinking skills and learn about career opportunities in forensics.
The forensic science program includes housing and meals, although a lower tuition fee is available for those who commute to class each day. Georgetown University also offers other programs on different subjects, as well as online courses and college prep.
