Overview

Study Human Skeletal Biology at New York University

The Human Skeletal Biology MSc program offered at New York University is also useful training for students who are preparing for admission to doctoral programs in skeletal biology, molecular anthropology, and human evolution.

An integral part of the program is hands-on, semester long professional internships developed according to student interest. These opportunities range from those in genetics (in departmental labs and the ME’s office), osteology and odontology (in departmental labs, NYU School of Dentistry, the AMNH, and ME’s office), and field recovery training (departmental or other field schools). Ideally, student research projects will evolve from these internships into MS theses (see MS Thesis and Requirements and Completed MS Thesis links on this page).
