Description
The Master of Science (MS) in Biomedical Anthropology is a two-year program designed to develop strong research expertise for careers in health-related fields. Biomedical Anthropology integrates biological and anthropological approaches to understand variation in health and disease across populations, considering evolutionary, environmental, and cultural influences. Students investigate health patterns at molecular, skeletal, and population levels, gaining insights into the causes and consequences of human biological variation and learning to interpret these findings within broader social and ecological contexts.
