这项为期两年的计划为毕业生做好了将生物学人类学中骨骼生物学和遗传研究的原理和技术应用于各种环境的准备，其中包括法医科学领域（例如，医学检验官办公室，Coroner办事处，武装部队）。部队，刑事司法，执法，大规模灾难）。对于准备入读生物考古学，骨骼生物学和人类进化博士学位课程的学生，该计划也可能是有用的培训。该计划包括36个课程课程，实验室或现场实习以及以研究为基础的硕士学位论文。该计划使毕业生为将物理人类学的原理和技术应用到各种环境中做好准备，包括法医科学（即医学）审查员办公室，验尸官办公室，武装部队，刑
The Master of Science in Human Skeletal Biology program prepares graduates to apply the principles and techniques of Biological Anthropology to a variety of contexts, including those in the Forensic Sciences (i.e., Medical Examiner's office, Coroner's office, Armed Forces, Criminal Justice, Law Enforcement, Mass Disasters). The program is also useful training for students who are preparing for admission to doctoral programs in skeletal biology, molecular anthropology, and human evolution.<br><br>An integral part of the program is hands-on, semester long professional internships developed according to student interest. These opportunities range from those in genetics (in departmental labs and the ME's office), osteology and odontology (in departmental labs, NYU School of Dentistry, the AMNH, and ME's office), and field recovery training (departmental or other field schools). Ideally, student research projects will evolve from these internships into MS theses. Yearly skeletal biology colloquia bring visiting scientists for talks and workshops.
