Can anyone help me with finding information on forensic anthropology?

Question

I really want to be a forensic anthropologist and I was looking into applying to Loyola University in Chicago but I don't know. Does anyone have ideas?

Answer 1

i just need points so i will say this "idk"

Answer 2

The university's that offer it should have a more in-depth description of what they offer.  Also you may want to contact the school to speak with someone out of the Department to give you some detailed info on what their program has to offer.  The University of Tennessee has a great program. (one of the top in the Country)  Also think about weather or not you want a big school or small school.  I minored in Forensic Anthropology.  I first attended Maryland and then realized that I was just a number to the program.  I decided that I wanted to be known by my professors on a first name basis, so I transferred to a smaller school .  I was so glad I did because I'm not sure that I would have really enjoyed Forensic Anthro at a large school.  I ended up at The University of West Florida in Pensacola, FL.  (Small school, but excellent in Academics.)

Good Luck!!!

If I were you, I would try to find some forensic anthropologists that work in your area.  Then call or email them and ask them how they got into that field.  Find out where they went to school, what they studied, etc.  Maybe you could even job shadow them, to see if it is really what you want to do with your life.
