A Flexible Funeral Service College Designed for You

Earn your Funeral Service degree on your timetable

At Goodwin University, we understand that every student’s path is different — that’s why our Funeral Service program is designed with flexibility in mind. Whether you prefer the structure of campus-based learning or the convenience of online coursework, you can earn your associate degree on your timetable.

Choose from two career-focused pathways, both offering a comprehensive 65-credit curriculum that can be completed in as few as 16 months full time,* with part-time options available.

On-campus program

Attend classes just one day per week in a supportive, hands-on environment. You’ll benefit from:

  • Courses taught by practicing funeral directors
  • On-campus lab training in embalming and restorative art
  • Required skill verifications built into your coursework
  • Internship placements at funeral homes across the state

This path is ideal for students who thrive with face-to-face learning and want consistent in-person support.

Online program

Prefer a more flexible option? Our fully online program allows you to study on your schedule, with expert instruction and one required 2-3 day on-campus immersion weekend in your final semester. During the immersion weekend** you’ll complete:

  • Embalming and restorative art skill verifications
  • A comprehensive curriculum review to prepare for board exams
  • A shadowing experience at the State of Connecticut Medical Examiner’s Office

No matter which path you choose, you’ll gain the technical knowledge, real-world experience, and professional confidence needed to succeed in the funeral service profession.

* Additional time is required to complete prerequisite courses.
** Travel, lodging, meals, and other related immersion weekend costs are the responsibility of the student.
