Students have access to a cutting-edge teaching and research lab that contains a large collection of human, hominin, and primate skeletal casts.
Moreover, a grant funded by the W.M. Keck Foundation purchased a super-fast computer, iPads, and a 3-D printer for student research in the classroom. Additionally, students can learn how to 3-D scan using a mobile scanner, as well as learn human osteology from real human skeletons.
