  1. Neuroscience and Law Program at Michigan State University  
The Neuroscience and Law Program at Michigan State University is excited to announce the introduction of online micro-credentials! These courses provide relevant and accessible training to students and working professionals in the field of criminal justice - including law enforcement, criminal investigation, forensics, social work, and both lawyers and judges in the courtroom. Neurolaw micro-credentials are presented in an online asynchronous format: learning material is available on demand to accommodate the busy schedules of full-time students and working professionals that are interested in developing their skills and increasing their knowledge. Whether you’re interested in just a single course or an entire collection, micro-credentials allow participants to sign up for as few or as many courses as they like. Upon completion of a collection of courses, you will be issued a micro-credential certificate by the MSU Neuroscience Program. For more information, please contact Michael Koval at kovalmi2@msu.edu or visit https://neuroscience.natsci.msu.edu/academics/microcredentials/index.aspx.
