Anatomy

Degree: Bachelor of Science

Course Details:


Anatomy focuses on the human skeleton, cells, tissues and organs and may include human dissection.

A Bachelor of Science in Anatomy is an undergraduate degree program that provides students with a strong foundation in the principles and practices of human anatomy. The program typically takes less than four years to complete and includes courses in human anatomy, histology, physiology, embryology, and neuroanatomy.

Students will also develop skills in areas such as research, communication, and critical thinking, as well as gain an understanding of the ethical and legal considerations involved in medical practices. The program may also include opportunities for internships, co-op experiences, or other hands-on learning opportunities that provide practical experience in the field.

Upon completion of the program, graduates are prepared for a variety of entry-level positions in healthcare organizations, research institutions, or academic institutions. They may also pursue further education, such as a master's degree in anatomy, to increase their career opportunities and earning potential.
