In this paper we justify the Factorization Method for a coupled acoustic-elastic medium. Under natural assumptions on the data we prove an explicit form of the characteristic function of the scattering medium $D$ where only the spectral data of the far field operator enter. This information is provided by the knowledge of the far field patterns for all incident plane waves. In the last section we investigate the corresponding interior transmission eigenvalue problem and prove that the eigenvalues form a discrete set.
