Criminal Justice program offers new classes
Criminal Justice instructor George Chaix will teach Forensic Photography in fall 2019.
Three new criminal justice classes are on the horizon at William Carey University as Dr. Karla Pope of the Tradition campus, department chair, and her staff work to develop a minor in forensic science.
Instructor George Chaix will teach the first of these classes, Forensic Photography, in fall 2019 at the Tradition and Hattiesburg campuses. Crime Scene Documentation follows in winter 2019, and Latent Print Examination in spring 2020.
“We get enquiries because there is no other forensic science program on the coast. We’re going to begin with these three classes and work toward developing 21 hours,” Pope said.
“Forensic science is a good practical application of majors like biology and chemistry. It’s well-suited for people who love law enforcement, and want to be involved in that world, but don’t want to be law enforcement officers. Although, we may well have some police officers who want to expand their abilities.”
William Carey University's fall trimester starts Aug. 26. For more information, contact Dr. Karla Pope at (228) 702-1834 or
