Iowa State University - Biomedical Sciences MS Program

Hands-on, cadaver-based learning that builds real clinical readiness. In our Anatomy classroom, students study human gross anatomy and neuroanatomy through cadaver dissection, supported by models, virtual learning tools, radiologic imaging, and case studies—the kind of lab experience professional schools value.

As part of the BMS One-Year MS, Anatomy sits within a professional-level curriculum that’s designed to strengthen your science foundation for medical, dental, veterinary, and research pathways.

The Department of Biomedical Sciences emphasizes a hands-on approach across human and veterinary anatomy, aligned with a One Health perspective.
