Doctor's degree Physical Anthropology - CUNY Graduate School and University Center

Doctor's degree Physical Anthropology from CUNY Graduate School and University Center is a Campus Ph.D Anthropology degree that prepares you for a Science career. Physical Anthropology at CUNY covers a wide range of topics, with a strong emphasis on evolutionary approaches to understanding human and nonhuman primate biology. Current research involves six main areas: the comparative morphology, scientific visualization and 3D morphometrics, paleontology, biogeography, and systematics of humans and other primates; primate ecology and its relationships to both social behavior (including cognition) and to conservation problems; the biology of modern humans (with a focus on adaptation); skeletal growth and development, osteology, and bone biology; craniofacial development and comparative anatomy; and forensic anthropology. The subfield has played a leading role in creating the New York Consortium in Evolutionary Primatology (NYCEP, see below), an NSF-funded training program which gives CUNY students access to faculty, laboratories and collections at New York University, Columbia University, the American Museum of Natural History, and the Wildlife Conservation Society (Bronx Zoo); a number of special courses in this program are jointly taught by CUNY, New York University, and Columbia faculty. Active laboratories in the CUNY system are at Hunter College (where there is a primate genetics lab and a lab for the analysis of vocalization), at Queens College (osteology and bioarchaeology), at Brooklyn College (3D high-resolution laser scanning), and at Lehman College (osteology/forensics and 3D "solid printing" of computer-visualized imagery). Other labs directed by CUNY faculty are located at the American Museum of Natural History (three dimensional geometric morphometrics and computer visualization) and Mt. Sinai School of Medicine (comparative morphology of the head and neck and speech origins). CUNY faculty members have field projects under way in paleontology and in primate and human ecology in France, China, Indonesia, several African countries and in South America.
