The Department of Anatomy & Cell Biology is home to some of the University's leading educators and researchers. As a traditional anatomy department, educational efforts are directed toward undergraduate and graduate courses in gross anatomy, microscopic anatomy, embryology and neuroanatomy for medical, health sciences, physical therapy, and basic science students. As a modern biomedical research department, faculty members direct NIH-funded projects in the fields of neuroscience and cancer biology, and belong to the University's Integrated Biomedical Sciences graduate program that leads to Ph.D. degrees in those areas.
The M-ATS program is designed to strengthen students’ understanding of the basic medical and translational sciences in preparation for medical school or further graduate studies toward a biomedical Ph.D. degree.
The Graduate Certificate in Anatomical and Translational Sciences is a post-baccalaureate academic enhancer program designed to prepare students interested in attending medical school or allied health sciences programs.
The Minor in Human Anatomy is designed to prepare students for careers in the biomedical fields by providing them with a broad understanding of human gross, microscopic and nervous system anatomy at the structural and functional levels, ranging from embryonic development to adulthood.
