Hey everyone, I'm interested in enrolling in a mortuary science program. Does anyone know of any good programs in Michigan?
Absolutely, Michigan has several institutions that offer programs in mortuary science.
One of the most recognizable and respected schools is the Wayne State University in Detroit. The College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences within Wayne State University offers a Bachelor of Science in Mortuary Science. This program is fully accredited by the American Board of Funeral Service Education (ABFSE) and the curriculum includes courses in embalming, funeral directing, and human anatomy.
Another option is the Worsham College of Mortuary Science in Wheeling. It offers a 12-month accelerated program leading to an Associate's degree in Applied Science, which includes anatomy, chemistry, restorative art, funeral directing, and embalming among other courses.
Please keep in mind that admission to mortuary science programs often requires prerequisite coursework in the natural sciences (like biology and chemistry) and the humanities.
Remember, it's very important to ensure that your chosen program is accredited by the ABFSE. This accreditation will ensure not only the program's legitimacy but also the quality and comprehensive understanding of the funeral service profession.
I hope this helps and best of luck on your journey into mortuary science!
