How many years of school do you need to become a forensic anthropologist for the air force or any other military branch?I'm interested in attending...

Forensic anthropologists use the combined sciences of
physical anthropology and osteology (the study of bones) to study decomposed or
skeletonized human remains.  They work with law enforcement and forensic pathologists as
well as other forensic scientists to determine age, sex, stature and ethnicity,
primarily to identify the subject.  They can also uncover skeletal injury from fractures
and gunshot wounds.

To enter the field, you will
need an undergraduate degree in biology, anatomy, physiology or anthropology, and
postgraduate training at least at the master degree
level.

The military hires forensic
anthropologists at the master’s degree level.  The majority of forensic anthropologists
have PhD’s.  This is especially important if you intend to teach, and adds credibility
during court testimony.

So we are talking about
a minimum of 6 years’ education to enter the field, four years at the undergraduate
level, leading to a bachelor’s degree in science, and two years’ graduate study to
obtain a master’s degree.
