I'm also looking into programs leading to a doctorate in forensic
anthropology. I have a B.A./B.S. in biological anthropology with a minor in
biology from the university of arizona (I also have exp. with the
world-renown tree ring lab at UofA and the Garbology project). Anybody have
recommendations on forensic anthropology programs on the west coast (pref.
those comparable to the great progream we have at the UofA)? I've
been looking into programs at UCLA and U-cal berkley. Thanks.
