Overview

The Human Biology program at the University of Indianapolis is one of only a few of its kind in the United States, combining elements of forensic science and biological anthropology to prepare you to work in forensic laboratories, death investigation, anatomy instruction or biomedical research and allowing you to hone your skills in the classroom and out in the field.

As a part of our program, you will receive training to assist in fieldwork and laboratory analyses through our Human Identification Center, conduct hands-on research and obtain valuable teaching experience. With this solid foundation, you can transition directly into the workforce or move on to doctoral work in anthropology or anatomy.
