Pre-Mortuary Science

Students who choose a pre-mortuary science course of study follow a course of study that accumulates credits toward a bachelor of science degree in mortuary science. You'll complete your courses in English composition, general chemistry and biology, human anatomy and physiology, statistics, sociology, speech, psychology and accounting as well as appropriate electives. You'll be assigned a faculty adviser to help you with course selection and preparation for transfer. Through coursework, internships and campus leadership opportunities, you'll develop the problem-solving and critical-thinking skills needed to complete a degree for work in a challenging field.
