A minor in forensic anthropology complements any existing major. Majors in criminal justice and anthropology will certainly benefit from the coursework and experience this minor offers.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\">The minor will accommodate those with an interest in law enforcement, students who intend to work as crime scene technicians, and students who are planning to pursue post-graduate education in legal or forensic science fields. The minor will also prepare students for graduate work specifically in forensic anthropology or another specialization in bioanthropology.<\/p>\r\n<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">Dr. Misty Weitzel<\/td>\r\n<td><\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/tbody>\r\n<\/table>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h5>What is forensic anthropology?<\/h5>\r\nForensic anthropology is the application of bioanthropology to the legal system and humanitarian matters. Forensic anthropologists apply standard scientific techniques to locate and recover suspicious remains, then work to evaluate the age, sex, ancestry, stature, and other individualizing characteristics of a decedent from the skeleton.\r\n<h5>What will you learn?<\/h5>\r\nForensic anthropology students will gain firsthand experience in the basics of forensic anthropology and put that knowledge to work with actual human remains in a laboratory setting. The focus is on the discovery, recovery, and interpretation of material evidence, emphasizing the significance of context.\r\n\r\nThe application of these findings as evidence in legal cases is pertinent to the curriculum. The required courses build on the traditional knowledge of anthropology and criminal justice. Students are also provided with a range of relevant options in criminal justice and anthropology to generate greater intellectual and applied breadth and also to situate forensic anthropology in a broader disciplinary context.\r\n<h5>What can you do with a minor in forensic anthropology?<\/h5>\r\nA Forensic Anthropology Minor will open doors to fieldwork opportunities, as well as participation in law enforcement\u00a0practices\u00a0and forensic lab experiences. Forensic anthropology skills are also in demand in educational settings, museums, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), law enforcement agencies, medical examiner and coroner offices, private companies, or as part of federal level response teams such as a Disaster Mortuary Operational Response Team (DMORT).\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h3>Three Tracks of Forensic Anthropology:<\/h3>\r\n[section=Track
