If you would like to go to a mortuary school, this is not it. This school would be much better if they wipe out over half the staff and replace them. they are very under staffed they need to hire someone who is just the financial aid person. all the staff work the jobs of multiple people so they can not focus and dedicate their time to education.

Terrible school, short semesters and they only overload you with information.

First off, I can only speak for the distance learning program. The idea behind this program is great. The execution, not so much. There are a few really great instructors here, however, the majority are awful. There is a major lack of communication across the board and you need to be ready to practically teach yourself.
