This Master of Science program equips students with essential competencies and understanding for analyzing human remains across bioarchaeological and forensic anthropology settings. The curriculum delivers comprehensive training in skeletal and dental anatomy, techniques for evaluating human skeletal material, recognizing pathological conditions in bones, and legal considerations surrounding contemporary forensic cases. The human skeleton serves as a intricate, ever-changing framework that preserves an individual's distinct biological history during life and postmortem. Professionals in Bioarchaeology and Forensic Anthropology can investigate these biological narratives through examination of osseous and dental evidence. This distinctive MSc program integrates theoretical frameworks and scientific methodologies from both fields, offering an extensive curriculum that enables students to develop specialized knowledge in both areas, including selecting their own research focus for the dissertation component.
