Question by 0b@m@ H8R: Classes in High School to Prepare for Forensic Anthropology?
I want to be a Forensic Anthropologist when I’m an adult. I’m currently in the 8th grade, and need to know what classes I need to take to prepare for this. I go to a smaller public school, so we don’t have an Anthropology class, our Psychology class is a joke (this is what I want to minor in in college), among a hundred other things, so those are out. Any information at all would be great. And also, I need to know what classes I should take in college, and which ones offer Forensic Anthropology. Also, it’s required for 9th graders to take Intro to Biology (1st semester) and Biology (2nd semester) because that’s the only science available for us. Is there anything I can do during the summer before next year and every summer after that to help prepare? Thanks in advance.
Also, are there any jobs available in D.C. with the government or possibly New York for a Forensic Anthropologist? And what is an average salary for one? Thanks again.

First off, you shouldn’t even be worrying about classes in high school for a career in forensic anthropology. Anything that you will need to learn for the discipline will be in college and graduate school. The only thing that I can recommend for you to do at this age is to take plenty of science courses and keep your grades up (aim for at least a 3.7 GPA).

Most of the forensic anthropologists that I know just studied anthropology, usually physical/biological anthropology in their undergrad. If you are interested in pursuing a career in forensic anthropology, I would just recommend studying physical anthropology or archaeology as a specialization in your undergrad and then enter a physical anthropology program in your graduate school. The whole process should take about 4 years for your undergraduate, and then another 6-8 years on top of that for a PhD, though it could take an additional two years if you decide to get a MA in a field that deals with the forensic portion of the field. It is highly recommended for you to get that MA. The whole process will require 10-14 years of higher level education after your graduate high school.

Should you decide to commit yourself to studying forensic anthropology I must warn you that I have been told by forensic anthropologists that it is extremely difficult to find a job in the field. There are a lot of people trained in forensic anthropology, yet there is not a large demand for them. Law enforcement agencies usually just use a professor of anthropology at a local university rather than hire a forensic anthropologist full time for any cases that they need help with. I can only think of a handful of forensic anthropologists who work full-time in the field, and they typically work in places that most people don’t want to go to (Iraq, Afghanistan, Kosovo, Bosnia, Colombia, etc), most often in the aftermath of some atrocity that resulted in a huge loss of human life in a horrendous manner (if the list above was any indication). A similar field with much better employment opportunities that you might be interested in is pathology. You may be able to get a steady job in a big city as a pathologist, but you will need to go to medical school, get an internship and a residency, specialize in anatomical pathology and then sub-specialize in forensic pathology. It should take about the same amount of time as it would for you to become a forensic anthropologist, maybe a year or two longer.

P.S. If you are getting your ideas of the field of forensic anthropology from television, I would urge you to reconsider it as a career choice. The way that the discipline is portrayed on television and in movies is nowhere near an accurate portrayal of the work that real forensic anthropologists do. If you are really interested in the forensic anthropology and you want to get a more accurate picture of the life of a forensic anthropologist, I recommend that you read any material you can find on the subject. Start with “Death’s Acre” by Dr. William Bass. He is considered the father of forensic anthropology and his book is a wonderful synopsis on the evolution of the discipline.

Question by Little Muffin Bites 2007: What kind of educational degree do you have to have to be a Forensic anthropology expert?
How many years of schooling do you have to have also?

Best answer:

Answer by sisyphus_stumbled
Well an M.A. or M.S. will be your minimum. On average this can take between 6 to 8 years (this includes going through your undergraduate work). If you choose to go on for a Ph.D., this can take another 3 to 5 years depending on how much time you devote to finishing. In order to become Board Certified, you’ll need the Ph.D. and several years practical experience.

If you you go on be a forensic anthropologist, here are a few suggestions

1) Taking classes outside of your major can be beneficial. Archaeology field schools will teach you about excavation and survey. These are two big skills that should be mastered as they are crucial to the recovery phase. Cultural anthropology and sociology classes, especially those dealing with mortuary practices, can help you learn about how people bury their dead. Statistics will help you to be read and understand the lierature. Anatomy (especially gross anatomy) will help you familarize yourself with the soft tissue. In my experience, it is equally important to know what goes through a foramen (hole) as it is to be able to idenitfy the structure. Other helpful classes: biology, chemistry, geology (this should include soil sciences), zooarchaeology (learn to id animal remains), kinesiology/biomechanics

2)Join the applicable associations. The American Academy of Forensic Sciences and the American Association of Physical Anthropologists have yearly meetings where posters and presentations are given. Presenting at these conferences will help to get your name out there and will allow you to network.

3)Get working in the lab early. Your university will have a physical anthropology lab. Volunteer there. This will help you get to know the other students and allow you to practice your osteology

4)Make friends with the local medical examiner’s office. If you prove yourself to be a competent student, they might be able to use your help in body recoveries

5)When you get your M.A. or M.S. apply to be a volunteer at Disaster Relief groups like Kenyon, Forensic Archaeology Recovery (FAR), Physicians for World Peace, and the United Nations. Sometimes you might be given the option to head to places like Iraq, Rwanda, Croatia, Serbia to work on mass graves. As thrilling as these places might be, give it a good long think before you agree. A single body can be traumatic; a mass grave can be devestating.

Anyway, that’s my advice. In my opinion, it’s a wonderful field. If you work hard at it and diversify you studies, you’ll be better off than most.

Question by : what classes should you take to go to college for forensic science?
i am taking criminal justice this year (sophomore year of high school) and i’ll hopefully take forensics next year but what grades do you need to go to college for forensic science? and what should you do outside of school to get into college for forensic science?

Best answer:

Answer by Riley Lee
Nothing special it’s just a major in college. Take extra science classes for electives (those are more important than law enforcement since you want to be a scientist). Obviously try to get good grades but the grades you need depend on the school more than the major.

Question by : Forensic Science degree program, with Masters in Forensic Psychology?
Since I do not have a B.S. degree in Criminal Justice (my B.S. degree is in Business) I am hoping a few people with experience in teaching Criminal Justice at the undergraduate or graduate level can help me.

I desire to go into Forensic Psychology at the Masters level. I may need to take a few lower level classes in psychology since I’ve been a business major for the last 7 years.

However, If I go into Forensic Science at the PhD level, what will I need to do (as in classes) to better prepare myself (after I attain my Masters)? I know that the psychology would help me.

Would a certain class in math help, perhaps calculus? Would taking physics or chemistry be a requirement to obtain a undergraduate degree in Forensic Science?

(If physics or chemistry is requirement at the undergraduate level, I better take it now).

My mind works in details and I know that I know that I know that I want to do investigative work. I analyze like crazy. Any information would help greatly.
Thanks!
Tink, thanks so much. Randy C, you put a lot of time in for those degrees. I did find out that,

“People interested in careers as science technicians (such as forensic scientists) should [take/have] a background in applied chemistry, physics, and math is vital.” Got this from http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos115.htm

I guess I better take a few classes in chemistry and physics. I do not want to wait to take these later. The good thing about this is

“Jobs for forensic science technicians are expected to increase much faster than the average.” from http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos115.htm

If you want to do forensic psych you better go for a PhD.
A masters will get you nothing. Its the consolation prize for not kjumping for the ring…and people in the field know that its practically worthless.

Question by Betty: What is the difference between sociology, anthropology and archeology?
What is the difference between sociology, anthropology and archeology? What type of careers do these degrees lead to? Do people usually have to get a phd or masters if they pursue these fields?

Best answer:

Answer by araktsu
If you plan to study any of these then you had better plan to read a lot. I have left links to Wikipedia for overall descriptions of the subjects of interest: sociology, anthropology and archeology. If you are not willing to read that much to find out, college is not for you because you will have a lot of required reading in college! School is supposed to supply you with the opportunity to gain knowledge, some basic academic skills, and critical thinking; a career, maybe.

The degree vs. salary curve applies almost exclusively to academic environments and government work. No degrees lead to a career; some careers require a degree as far as employers are concerned. There exists in some academic and government bureaucracies the belief that the higher the degree one has, and the more exclusive or prestigious university it came from, the more status and authority one deserves, as well as a higher salary. That is driven by the propensity for a bureaucracy to perpetuate itself, not practical or rational factors.

The reader does not know what your circumstances are or why you would choose any of these fields. Also the reader does not know what your resources are or if you wrote your question because you were looking for fill for a commercial blog or actually have interest in learning more.

No degree in social science leads to insight and knowledge unless you plan to study and reason a lot while you are pursuing the degree. You are likely to acquire a bit of knowledge just from doing the absolute minimum amount of study to pass tests.

If you want to read about career opportunities, search for a college site that offers instruction in any of these subjects. They will have brochures or information online from their career center to guide you in hopes of acquiring more paying customers.
