Biomedical Anthropology B.S.

The Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Anthropology will ground students in key concepts in anthropology, health and illness, and human biology. Students will learn to use biological, cultural, and medical anthropology to approach human health from a holistic, cross-cultural perspective. Students will learn how to examine human health and well-being in the context of human biological and cultural diversity, understand the connections between health and disease and human social and evolutionary contexts, and apply these anthropological perspectives to human illness, treatment, and healthcare systems

The Biomedical Anthropology major provides 1) an understanding of the core anthropological theories and methods used to study human health and illness, 2) an introduction to the basics of biological science, 3) an awareness of social inequalities and how they are manifested in human bodies, 4) an introduction to the ethics of human research, and 5) research, critical thinking, and writing skills that can be used in a wide variety of professional settings and graduate work, including professional school for allied health careers. Alongside their coursework, students will learn through community-based, applied research that is holistic and interdisciplinary.

Anthropology examines culture, race, ethnicity, class, gender, and inequality and emphasizes effective cross-cultural communication. Students will learn how to work with diverse populations and how to better understand local and global diversity. Biomedical Anthropology (BAN) majors will be able to identify inequalities in health outcomes (including race, ethnicity, class, gender, sexuality, dis/ability, and others) and apply anthropological concepts to explain these outcomes and identify potential solutions. BAN majors will be ready for success in health careers that address complex health problems and provide effective services to the varied populations in the state of Florida and across the United States.

Admission Requirement / Eligibility Criteria

Any student applying for admission to USF is considered international if he or she:

Is not a citizen of the United States
Is not a permanent resident alien, asylee or refugee
Is pending permanent resident alien status
If offered admission, international applicants will need to submit additional documents.

Once you have determined whether you are an international student, decide whether you are freshman or transfer status. This is important to do before you get started on your application.

Freshman Status

If you have not graduated from secondary school or completed your secondary school examinations, the State of Florida considers you a freshman, regardless of the amount of college credit you may have earned through dual enrollment, AP or IB coursework, or external examinations while in secondary school.

Thus, even though you may have sophomore or junior standing once you enroll and your credits are transferred, USF will review your application for admission as a freshman and consider you for all freshman admission scholarships. You also are considered a freshman if you have completed your secondary school studies and have attempted fewer than 12 college credits.

If you fall into this category, please follow the freshman requirements and deadlines when submitting your application.
