Pre-Mortuary Science (2 years)

Dr. Kerry Openshaw (Advisor)

1. The pre-mortuary science student should declare a Biology major and work closely with the pre-mortuary science advisor so all course requirements are filled prior to entrance into mortuary science school. Delay in meeting with the pre-mortuary science advisor will likely result in delayed entrance into mortuary science school.
2. The following courses are required for entrance into most mortuary science schools. In addition, some mortuary science schools may require more courses than listed below. It is the responsibility of the pre-mortuary science student to become aware of these additional requirements and to plan their pre-mortuary science curriculum accordingly.
