可以通过以下两个程序之一来获得解剖学理学硕士学位：论文选修课或课程选修课。在这两个计划中，必修的核心课程是显微解剖学，大体解剖学，胚胎学，神经生物学和三个研讨会。论文选项适用于需要或需要全面专业经验（包括深入研究和写作）的学生。此选项可确保培训研究技术和撰写学术论文。它以原始研究为基础，最终完成了论文的准备和辩护。学生的学习计划是对某些选定解剖学领域进行深入研究和研究的方法的开端。该课程选项允许学生计划一个满足其教育需求和职业目标以及满足学位要求的学习计划。该学生的学习计划包括对核心解剖学课程中介绍的材料
The Master of Science in Anatomy degree can be earned through one of two programs-the thesis option or the course option. In both programs, the required core courses are microanatomy, gross anatomy, embryology, neurobiology and three seminars. The thesis option is for students who need or desire the full range of professional experience, including intensive research and writing. This option assures training in research techniques and in the preparation of scholarly papers. It culminates in the preparation and defense of a thesis based on original research. The student's program of study is an initiation into methods of intense study and research in some selected area of anatomy. The course option allows the student to plan a program of study that satisfies his or her educational needs and career objectives, as well as meeting degree requirements. The student's program of study includes a comprehensive oral examination of the material presented in the core anatomy courses and a written scholarly project focusing on a contemporary issue falling under the various subdisciplines of anatomy. The course option also includes the opportunity to learn fundamental laboratory techniques used in anatomical research, and to help teach in one or more of the department's graduate or undergraduate courses.
