The Funeral Services program is designed to prepare students for the position of licensed funeral director and/or embalmer or for the position of registered direct disposer in the state of Florida. The curriculum is divided into pre-professional and professional courses, which have been designed to balance the course of study in four semesters of classroom, laboratory, and clinical work, plus one semester of professional practicum. Students who have completed all general education and support course work with a grade of "C" or better may be able to complete the program in a minimum of twelve (12) months. Graduates of the program are awarded the Associate in Science degree in Funeral Services or the Associate of Applied Science degree.

The Florida licensure process requires passing the National Board Examination (a computer comprehensive examination), serving one year internship under the direction of a licensed funeral director and embalmer, and passing a Florida examination on rules and regulations. Licensing and qualification requirements may vary from state to state.

Applicants who meet the application and admission requirements will be admitted on a first-come, first-served basis. Student applications may be submitted at any time. Eligible applicants not admitted for the year in which they apply may be listed as an alternate for that year and will be admitted for the next available class. Students who fail to enroll and/or attend the term that admission is granted must reapply for a future date or students may be slotted into an earlier class on a space available basis. (Exceptions will be handled by the Provost's Office at the Health Education Center.) Students are required to maintain their eligibility for admission.
