If your undergraduate GPA is 3.0 or better, you can apply and be admitted unconditionally regardless of what your GRE scores are. If your GPA is between 2.75 and 3.0, you can be admitted conditionally. If your GPA is less than 2.75, you can still apply and be admitted, but your combined quantitative and verbal GRE score must be 1000 or greater. It's nice to know that the GPA requirement is not absolute, considering that many applicants do come from much harder schools, where achievement would more likely be indicated by test scores and not GPA. In addition to these numerical requirements, you'll need a 500 word biography, recommendations, and completing of a personality inventory exam offered on campus. Last but not least, you'll need to have taken some prerequisite courses: general psych, development psych or human behavior, theories of personality, statistics, abnormal psych and research methods.

Forensic Anthropology - California State U. at Bakersfield
Cal State Bakersfield offers a 400-level undergraduate course on forensic anthropology, tying together the work of biological anthropology and archaeology to identify decomposing bodies and bone and skeletal fragments.

The course only requires a basic understanding of human anatomy, and prior coursework in general biology or biological anthropology.
