Most Forensic Anthropologists have a Ph.D. in anthropology. The required schooling to get a Ph.D. is six to eight years.
There are many great schools out there, but I would look for a school that has a human remains facility. I went to Western Carolina University, and we had one there. I would say that was a huge part of what made this program so great. To learn more about the school, Forensic Anthropology and hear some great Forensic Anthropology stories go to my Youtube channel Trauma and Toolmarks on Bone.
Forensic ontology and forensic anthropology are two subfields within the broader discipline of forensics. They both play a role in crime scene investigation and the identification of human remains. However, forensic ontology focuses on the analysis of digital data and evidence, such as computer files or online activity, while forensic anthropology deals with the study of skeletal remains in order to determine identity, cause of death, or other relevant information.

Forensic anthropology focuses on applying anthropological methods and techniques to legal investigations, such as the identification of human remains. It typically involves working with law enforcement agencies and the criminal justice system. In contrast, anthropology studies human societies and cultures from a holistic perspective, examining various aspects of human behavior, biology, and culture.
With a major in anthropology, specializing in forensic studies, and a minor in business, you could pursue careers as a forensic anthropologist working with law enforcement agencies, in research institutions, or as a consultant. Your business knowledge could be valuable in roles such as project management, data analysis, or administration within forensic anthropology organizations or forensic science labs. Additionally, you could explore opportunities in forensic accounting or compliance within business settings.
Anthropology is divided into four major sub-fields: 1) biological, 2) cultural, 3) linguistic, and 4) archaeology. Other branches of anthropology include medical anthropology, forensic anthropology, corporate anthropology, applied (or practical) anthropology, and public anthropology.
Forensic anthropologists typically need a graduate degree in forensic anthropology or a related field, as well as specialized training in skeletal analysis. They must have a strong understanding of human anatomy, decomposition processes, and taphonomy. Additionally, they often need experience working in a forensic setting and must be able to accurately document and analyze skeletal remains.
