Distance Education courses are designed to enable completion of coursework at a time and place independent of the course
professor, typically via the internet. Currently, 43 programs offer some distance education courses ranging from 1 course to virtually the entire degree.
Please note that all programs require certain laboratories and other hands-on activities to be completed on-campus and/or at approved off-campus facilities.

Questions you should ask when choosing an online program.
Students planning to enroll in distance education courses offered by an institution located in other than their home state
(state of residence) are advised to check with the institution to be sure the institution is authorized to offer courses in their particular state. Students are also
reminded that licensing requirements vary state by state. With this in mind, students are also advised to contact the agency that regulates funeral service/mortuary
science activities in the state in which they intend to pursue employment to verify licensure requirements. See the list of licensing agencies.
