Good Schools for Biological Anthropology?

<p>I think I might be interested in biological anthropology, and so far the only school I’ve seen who has more than one or two courses in the subject is Syracuse. Are there any others?</p>

<p>Also, SUNY Binghamton. But Binghamton has everything. Are there any smaller schools who would have this?</p>

<p>What Do Biological Anthropologists Do?</p>

<p>Most biological anthropologists teach and do research at universities and colleges around the country. Some teach in high schools, as well. Others work for various state and federal government agencies, and still others are privately employed.</p>

<p>"At colleges and universities, they can be found in departments of anthropology, anatomy, biological sciences, human biology, zoology, in medical school departments, and also in combined departments of sociology and anthropology or social sciences. Those who study primates are often in departments of biology or psychology or on the staffs of zoos or zoological research institutes. Human paleontologists may be employed in departments of paleontology, prehistory, or geology, or as staff members of natural history museums, such as the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. Biological anthropologists who work with living peoples may work at medical schools, or be found in departments of physiology, nutrition, or genetics, or programs of physical education and athletics.</p>

<p>Besides teaching and research, biological anthropologists may do forensic (medical/legal) consultation (skeletal identification or DNA fingerprinting) for law enforcement agencies to assist in solving crimes. There are many and varied professional opportunities for biological anthropologists."</p>

<p>You need a PhD to teach or do research at a university! And how many anthropology major actually teach in high schools? Most schools do not teach anthropology. </p>

<p>Face it, with just a BS in anthropology, you are unemployable.</p>
