Bachelor Programs in Mortuary Sciences

A bachelor’s degree is a secondary education degree offering students an added layer of academic preparation prior to getting jobs. This proof of advanced education can catapult students directly into an entry-level job. A bachelor’s degree is also mandatory before one can pursue a master’s degree.

You may be asking yourself, what is a Bachelor in Mortuary Science? A bachelor’s degree in this field provides students with the classroom training and hands-on experience to pursue a career in funerary work. Because mortuary work involves working closely with families, in addition to medical work involving the human body, a typical mortuary science curriculum includes classes in human anatomy, psychology, accounting and even makeup application. Additionally, there will be core coursework such as embalming. Students will also learn about funerary rules and regulations. This all works to prepare students for the unique physical, mental and emotional demands of funerary work.

This degree equips students with a wide variety of hard and soft skills—from family counseling to managing business expenses—that future employers will value. Earning this degree also signals commitment to goals, which is another benefit when it comes to seeking employment.

Degree costs vary greatly based on numerous school factors. Carefully research schools to align their financial and academic offerings with personal goals.

A degree in mortuary science prepares one for some of the most challenging but indispensable work out there. Recipients complete the program prepared for work in the hands-on arenas of dealing with the deceased, including in roles as embalmer or mortician. Students also develop the foundation for careers in more interpersonal positions, such as that of funeral home director or mortician. Mortuary science degree recipients can even use the unique coursework as a springboard for positions as grief counselors.
