Students in the Forensic Anthropology Minor develop a strong foundation in anthropological
theory and scientific methods used to study human remains in forensic and archaeological
contexts. The program introduces students to human biological variation, cultural
systems, and the core principles of forensic anthropology, while building essential
skills in human osteology and skeletal analysis. Through coursework focused on both
theory and applied practice, students learn how to interpret skeletal evidence, apply
scientific reasoning to medicolegal questions, and understand how anthropological
methods contribute to forensic investigations and the broader field of investigative
science.
