Welcome to Joe Morgan's Web Page

Assistant Professor of Criminal Justice

Excavation of a homicide victim in the wetlands of south Louisiana.

Welcome to my website. My name is Joseph Morgan and I am an Assistant Professor of Criminal Justice at North Georgia College and State University. Prior to coming to NGCSU I was the Senior Investigator with the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office in Atlanta, Georgia. Previous to my tenure at FCMEO, I was a Forensic Investigator with the Jefferson Parish Coroner’s Office in New Orleans, La.

In 1999 I became the 24th person nationally to become a Board Registered Diplomate of the American Board of Medicolegal Death Investigators and subsequently I attained Board Certified Fellow status in 2002. I hold a Master of Forensic Sciences from National University in LaJolla, Ca., Bachelor of Science Degree in Management with a minor in Biology from  National-Louis University in Evanston, Ill., and an Associate of Arts degree in Criminal Justice from  Delgado Community College in New Orleans, La..

Presently, I am working on my Doctoral Degree at A.T. Still University School of Health Science with a research emphasis in “Curriculum Effectiveness in Medicolegal Death Investigation Training Environments”. My other areas of research interest include professional performance of coroners and medical examiner investigators, the affects of notification of next of kin upon public safety officials and post secondary forensic curriculum development.

In addition to my professional pursuits, I served in the Army National Guard in the States of Georgia, Alabama and Louisiana as an Intelligence NCO.

With heightened public interest in forensic science it is easy to define forensics according to standards set by Hollywood. With this idea in mind, I have provided links to learn more about REAL forensic practice and graduate education opportunities.   

My office is located in:
 BB & T Bank Building, 3rd floor, room 329

“Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.”
