Forensic Anthropology at California State University, Chico

The focus of the program in forensic anthropology is to apply skeletal and biological principles and techniques to the identification of skeletal and badly decomposed human remains. While the Forensic Identification Certificate is to prepare undergraduates for introductory level positions in forensic science, similar preparation is offered at the graduate Masters Degree level.

The Anthropology Department's affiliation with the Departments of Biology, Chemistry, Criminal Justice and others at California State University permit it to offer an enhanced undergraduate Certificate in Forensic Identification. Furthermore, its relationship with a growing number of county and state agencies permits undergraduate and graduate students to work as interns. Master's students are expected to become involved in research and gain teaching expertise in medicolegal and general forensic investigation.

Western Carolina University Forensic Anthropology Program

Western’s Forensic Anthropology Program will prepare you to study human skeletons in a legal context. Routinely, forensic anthropologists examine badly decomposed or severely damaged human bodies and work hand-in-hand with local authorities to identify human remains. They are often called upon to assist in the search and recovery of human remains during large-scale disasters such as the bombing of the World Trade Center in 2001.
