Graduate Minor in Anatomy
The graduate minor in anatomy offers students the opportunity to study one or more of the sub-disciplines of human anatomy, which may be of direct benefit to their major field of research and provide an added dimension to their scholarly training. Students who complete a minor in anatomy will have this achievement recognized on their university transcript.
Why get a minor in anatomy?
A graduate minor in anatomy may benefit any graduate student whose research involves human form and function. The minor may be of particular interest to students in engineering, computer modeling, physical anthropology, art, exercise science, or other biological/health sciences.
