Continuing Education
The Michigan State University Neuroscience Program offers online continuing education (CE) courses designed for professionals working at the intersection of neuroscience and criminal justice—including law enforcement, criminal investigators, forensic specialists, social workers, attorneys, and judges.
Our courses are approved for CE credits through MCBAP and ASWB, making them a practical option for professionals meeting licensure or certification requirements. All courses are delivered in an asynchronous online format, so you can complete coursework on your own schedule without disrupting your professional commitments.
Courses are available individually or as a collection. Participants who complete a full collection will also earn a micro-credential certificate from the MSU Neuroscience Program.
Visit our Eventbrite site to see a full list of courses, collections, and registration information.
