Program Overview

The minor in anatomical sciences helps students develop expertise in the macrostructure and microstructure of the human body. It is excellent preparation for students pursuing a career in health care (e.g., physician, dentist) or as a researcher/educator in a morphology-based field such as comparative or functional anatomy, vertebrate paleontology, or biological anthropology. Students learn foundational knowledge and clinical implications via traditional methods such as cadaveric dissection as well as new technologies such as HoloAnatomy and virtual microscopy.
