The UC Blue Ash College pre-mortuary science program offers an associate of arts degree tailored for students planning to continue their education at the Cincinnati College of Mortuary Science (CCMS). This pathway allows students to pursue a bachelor's degree in mortuary science, with all UCBA coursework transferring seamlessly to CCMS.
The mortuary science field welcomes individuals who value the significance of funeral services, uphold professional standards, and seek comprehensive training beyond basic technical skills. In addition to learning embalming and preparation techniques, graduates gain expertise in funeral arrangement counseling, merchandising, and directing services.
Mortuary science education demands dedication. The curriculum includes two years of foundational studies encompassing liberal arts, business, and behavioral sciences before specialized mortuary training begins. After completing the four-year program, graduates must pass both state and national licensing examinations.
