BSH.FRAN - Forensic Anthropology - BSc Honours

www.trentu.ca/anthropology/programs/undergraduate/bsc-forensic-anthropology

The Forensic Anthropology program integrates the study of science and law with investigative practice and theory. Students receive a comprehensive biological anthropology education through the study of human evolution, growth and development in relation to environmental, genetic, and cultural factors. Students practice case work, learn team-building, analyze ethical and legal issues related to evidence, and face the challenge of communicating complex scientific evidence within the legal system. Students in the program may also participate in a placement/mentorship course where they gain valuable “real-world” experience and begin to develop their professional network.
