The advanced thanatology certificate delivers core and specialized expertise in death studies, end-of-life care, and grief support. This curriculum prepares bachelor's degree holders currently assisting or aiming to work with terminally ill patients and grieving individuals, as well as master's graduates pursuing additional qualifications. Furthermore, the program helps professionals fulfill continuing education obligations for license or certification renewal. Structured to align with ADEC's Thanatology certification standards, it supports both initial certification and recertification in Death, Dying, and Bereavement. While the complete certificate is available online, some thanatology courses may require in-person attendance.
Transcripts from all colleges and universities attended. Applicants who earned a bachelor’s degree outside the United States need to submit a course-by-course international transcript evaluation.
