Overview
The FAE graduate program offers a PhD in Functional Anatomy and Evolution and provides individualized support from world-leading faculty in a close-knit department with an excellent faculty-to-student ratio. The primary focus is on independent research and teaching human gross anatomy, with research areas ranging from vertebrate fossils to primates and recent human remains.
The Center for Functional Anatomy and Evolution has traditionally not trained MD-PhD students.
