The Department of Integrative Anatomical Sciences provides training in the basic medical sciences to health professional students, and prepares graduate students as future teachers and researchers in the human anatomical sciences and functional morphology.
Integrative Anatomical Sciences Graduate Programs
Graduate training in Integrative Anatomical Sciences includes in-depth training in core anatomical disciplines: gross anatomy, histology and neuroanatomy, including cadaveric dissection and microscopic study of tissues. In addition, students receive an intensive introduction to fundamentals of bone and dental biology, human anatomical variation, and clinical anatomical correlations. Interested students can receive training in laboratory teaching for gross anatomy, or research training in functional and evolutionary morphology.
Master of Science Program
The Master of Science (MS) degree is awarded for demonstrated competence in the anatomical sciences. This is a 12-month program that begins with intensive training in human gross anatomy in the summer term. Students must complete a minimum of 32 units of graduate-level courses (500 or higher) beyond the baccalaureate degree and maintain a minimum GPA of 3.0.
PhD Program
The faculty in the Department of Integrative Anatomical Sciences comprises one of the largest groups of evolutionary morphologists in the country, and the PhD in IAS is the only major PhD program in the anatomical sciences on the West Coast of the United States. Our collaborative approach to research and teaching ensures that students receive a broad background in anatomical sciences and in-depth training in techniques specific to their dissertation research. Under the guidance of the faculty, students have the opportunity to participate in field work, both nationally and internationally, and have access to world-class resources such as the Keck School of Medicine’s Molecular Imaging Center and the research collections at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles, where many of our faculty have institutional affiliations.
