Human Biology

[stwei]

I am looking for a dynamic M.Sc./Ph.d. program that allows me to study human biology that gives me the option of doing clinical research. Is there any program out there? I know Harvard has just recently started a program in systems biology

Check out Emory's Biological Anthropology PhD program.

Nope.. not anthro.. something clinical based.

human biology is associated with anthropology..for example, the founder of the human biology association is at the university of michigan anthro department...anyway, i would look at emory and northwestern if i wanted to do human biology in any form.

i think this topic is probably better for the "everyone" forumn, so i won't post anything else in here about it.

We aren't in England, you won't find MSC programs.

You just might be wrong on that one. go to www.PCOM.edu. They offer a clinical masters of science hence the M.Sc. designator. This is not a degree I see offered that much so I can see how it would seem foreign. For some time I thought that an M.S. was the same as a M.Sc.

i think hopkins has one. but i think it's more "human genetics" related.

I just recently stumbled upon the following page:
http://ar.byu.edu/catalog/graduate_cat/2004/graduatecatalog04-05.pdf#page=145.
An integrative biology Ph.d. program! Does anyone know any more about this program? From the catalog it seems to me that it's focus is more on ecology rather than human biology.

FYI: M.Sc. is just a different notation for Master of Science in England and most of the English-speaking world including Australia, Canada and asia. On the other hand, the Master of Philosophy degree (non-existnt in the US) is a little step up from the regular M.Sc. program in those countries as I recall.
