Anatomical Sciences Master's Program

The Anatomical Sciences major is ideal for the graduate student who is pursuing a career in anatomy research, teaching or medical school. All courses are a structured preparatory route for future entry to professional school, master's programs or a doctoral-level graduate program.

Students will participate in foundational graduate courses that will help them to understand and use the primary literature of Anatomical Sciences. 

Thirty-five (35) graduate credit hours are the minimum requirement. Please note that in the event a student has course deficiencies in their undergraduate preparation, it may alter the curriculum of their graduate curriculum. This may require additional time for the successful completion of this master's program.
