About the Program

With the growth of white-collar crime and budgetary pressures on law enforcement, many large organizations rely on their internal resources to prevent, detect and quantify fraud. This eight-month graduate certificate program will provide you with in-depth knowledge and computer techniques to investigate fraud, financial disputes and other irregularities in the business world.

The Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE®) estimates that a typical organization loses 5% of its annual revenue to fraud or $3.5 trillion globally with over half never recovering the funds.

Upon graduation from this program, you are strongly encouraged to pursue Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE) designation through the ACFE®.
