The Department of Anatomy provides limited course work for undergraduate students. Basic human anatomy is a two-quarter sequence covering the essentials of anatomy with emphasis on gross anatomy and histology, but also includes introductory neuroanatomy and embryology. The laboratory portion of the course incorporates the use of cadavers and computer programs. The course provides a strong academic background for those planning to enter the life sciences, nursing, medicine, or other health-related professions. Opportunities for undergraduates to participate in special projects focused on human structure are available.
The department also offers graduate courses in the areas of gross anatomy, microanatomy, embryology, and neuroscience for a Certificate in Anatomy (three quarters) and for master’s degree candidates with course option (seven quarters) or with thesis option (two years). In addition, the department provides course work at the doctoral level in the Biomedical Sciences Ph.D. program.
