MORTUARY SCIENCE
MORTUARY SCIENCE
ANTHONY V. RAO, Program Director
The Mortuary Science Program is a response to the increasing
awareness among morticians that preparation for a career in their profession
requires a broad educational background. In addition to the technical training
appropriate to their art, members of the mortuary science profession require a
high level of interpersonal sensitivity for compassionate and effective dealings
with families in crisis. The program also includes courses in business
management.
The B.S. in Mortuary Science requires three years of study on
the Gannon campus, combined with one year of study at an accredited school of
Mortuary Science.
The curriculum was designed by an advisory committee of
professionals to include all the skills which they require in
entry-level employees. Placement opportunities are excellent.
