CCBC Mortuary Science Program

I'm really interested in the mortuary science program at the Community College of Baltimore County (CCBC). Can anyone give me some insights into the coursework and program outcomes? Are there any current or former students who can share their experiences?

I'm not a current or former student of the CCBC Mortuary Science program, but I can help provide information about the coursework and program outcomes based on available information.

The CCBC Mortuary Science program is designed to prepare students for careers as funeral directors and embalmers by providing them with a comprehensive understanding of the funeral industry, including the various aspects of funeral service and the role of funeral service professionals in meeting the needs of the bereaved.

The curriculum for the CCBC Mortuary Science program includes a mix of general education courses, such as communications, psychology, and ethics, along with specific courses focusing on funeral service practices. Some of the core courses include:

- Anatomy and Physiology for Mortuary Science

- Embalming Theory and Practice

- Restorative Art

- Funeral Service Law, Ethics, and Regulatory Compliance

- Funeral Directing

- Mortuary Science Pathology

- Business and Funeral Home Operations

- Funeral Service Management

- Grief Counseling and Aftercare

As a program outcome, you can expect to acquire the necessary knowledge and skills to pass the National Board Exam (NBE), a requirement for obtaining a license in funeral service. The CCBC Mortuary Science program has a strong track record of NBE pass rates that are consistently above the national average, which speaks to the quality of the program and its alignment with the industry standards for funeral service professionals.

Additionally, the program emphasizes the development of interpersonal skills, sensitivity, and understanding to cater to diverse client needs and preferences in funeral service arrangements. This helps graduates of the program to become well-rounded professionals who can provide culturally-sensitive, compassionate, and personalized services to bereaved families.

It could be helpful to attend an information session or reach out to the faculty at CCBC to get more insights and possibly connect with current or former students who can share their personal experiences in the program.

Good luck in your pursuit of a career in mortuary science! It's wonderful to see people interested in such an important and meaningful profession.
