Student Profile: Mercedes Taylor, Junior
Majoring in: Forensic Chemistry and Anthropology
Western was the best choice for me because it offered the Forensic Chemistry major, which only few schools in the country do!
I chose to major in Anthropology because it is definitely an interest that can take me places and better my knowledge of forensics.
At the moment, I'm very interested in researching Middle Eastern cultures and current affair. I hope that one day my career can take me there to get a full perspective of the culture.
After graduating from Western, I wish to continue grad school in forensic anthropology.
I find anthropology to be an incredibly well-rounded subject. A person can gain so much from taking a class in cultural anthropology, learning about a variety of religions, languages, social interactions, etc of a cultures some have never seen or heard of before. Physical anthropology is a really stimulating area of study for students who want to dive deeper into the science and biology behind cultures.
