Pre-Mortuary Science
Advisor: Paul Lepp
Students interested in mortuary science may take one or two years of courses prior to enrolling in a professional program. There are a variety of programs around the United States, some two-years, some four-years. The students should have some idea of which professional program they wish to enter so a specific set of Minot State University courses may be selected that best fits their needs. The pre-mortuary science curriculum at Minot State University is patterned after the program at Mount Hood Community College in Gresham, Oregon. Mount Hood Community College suggests 30 semester hours of credit with the following courses:
- 9 cr of Communications, including ENGL 110 and 120 and COMM 110
- 9 cr of Science from Biology and Chemistry
