Minor in Financial Forensic Investigations
The Financial Forensic Investigations Minor combines select courses in accounting and criminal justice to prepare students for careers in forensic accounting, forensic examination and fraud investigation. Because of increases in fraud, graduates with a foundational knowledge of how to deter and detect fraud are in high demand. After completing the minor, students will be equipped and prepared to take the Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE) and Certified in Financial Forensics (CFF) exams. Accounting students who need to fulfill credit hour requirements for the Certified Public Accounting (CPA) Exam should consider this minor.
