Can I go to grad school in biology with a background in anthropology?
Filed Under (grad schools) by admin
cpine505 asked:


As an undergraduate I majored in Anthropolgy (mostly biological anthropology and human evolutionary ecology) and also alot of evolutionary psychology classes. I also know calculus and am very strong in statistics. I only took 8 hours each of chemistry and biology though. I was always interested in evolution’s implications on humans, but am now thinking that I would rather go to Grad school to study genetics and evolution itself.

Could I be admitted directly to a biology program with this background our am I doomed to studying humans unless I make up these undergrad defeciencies?

    The biology department in many ways biological anthropologists have more in common with anthropologists have more in the anatomy department and the biology department and teach in the biology department and they will reccommend additional coursework.
