Degree Completion

Student transferring with an AA or AS already meets University Core requirements in accordance with University policy. Transfer students must meet the prerequisites of Anatomy & Physiology, Microbiology, Accounting I, and Business Law. If these courses meet the requirements for transfer credit, the student needs only to complete the Mortuary Science and Funeral Service major courses.

University policy states that students earning a bachelor's degree must meet residency requirements. Residency requirements are defined by the University to be 90 hours of course credit at SIUC or the last 30 hours of course credit at SIUC. Students must have completed 60 hours at a Senior Institution.

Interested individuals must be accepted to the University in good standing and must submit a completed Mortuary Science and Funeral Service application. Once accepted to the program the student must completer a contract with a Mortuary Science and Funeral Service Advisor before starting the courses in the major.
