Biological anthropology is the study of the physical aspects of humans, primates, and their ancestors. The field of biological anthropology encompasses several areas of study including primatology, paleoanthropology, human evolution and adaptation, genetic variation, forensic and medical anthropology. The Honors College concentration in biological anthropology is designed for students who are interested in pursuing a career in medicine or who want to combine their interests in biology and anthropology. Students are encouraged to undertake an internship or study abroad program related to their specific areas of interest, such as primatology, forensics, or cross-cultural health care. Examples of internships that Honors College students have done include the Primate Enrichment Program at the Palm Beach Zoo, and the Himalayan Health Exchange study abroad program.
Students with a concentration in Biological Anthropology may pursue careers in fields such as medicine, holistic health, forensics, nutrition, biostatistics, kinesiology, biomechanics, genetic counseling and public education. Biological Anthropology concentrators who plan to attend medical school are strongly encouraged to familiarize themselves with our pre-med guidelines and take the courses required for medical school and recommended for MCAT preparation, in addition to the requirements for the biological anthropology concentration.
