Education Overview
The Center for Anatomical Science and Education offers three programs for students who have already earned a bachelor’s degree.
- Our master’s degree in anatomy prepares students for teaching, research and additional education. Many of our graduates go on to earn advanced professional and academic degrees (M.D., D.O., D.D.S., and Ph.D.).
- Our doctoral program in anatomy emphasizes training in clinical human anatomy and independent research for individuals seeking careers in medical school or university teaching.
