Answer:

Unfortunately, there are not many universities or colleges within the state of North Carolina that offer an anthropology program specific to forensic anthropology. There is actually only one school, Western Carolina University (WCU), that offers a dedicated degree to this specific discipline, although other schools do have general anthropology programs with the option of focusing research on forensic anthropology.

The following is a detailed breakdown of the forensic anthropology program offered by WCU.

Western Carolina University

  • College of Arts and Sciences
  • Location: Cullowhee, NC
  • Program: Bachelor of Science in Anthropology
  • Formats Available: Forensic Anthropology Concentration (Major) or Minor

Part of the reason for a lack of undergraduate programs may be because forensic anthropology is a more common option at the graduate level of study. If studying forensic anthropology is not an option at the undergraduate level, then it might be worth considering an undergraduate major in general anthropology before applying to one of the many master's programs in forensic anthropology that are available across the country.
