Bereavement Studies
NEI is one of the few programs to offer you a bachelor degree in bereavement studies. Our Bereavement Studies program is designed for a wide range of professionals, including those who have already earned an associate degree and are interested in specializing in the behavioral sciences that concentrate on death and grief.
The first two years of the program incorporate coursework from human services, liberal arts or funeral services, taken at Mount Ida or at another accredited institution. Candidates with an educational background in nursing may also apply as transfer students. In the last two years, the curriculum includes a core of bereavement and psychology courses to broaden your knowledge of and sensitivity to important emotional, ethical and medical/legal issues.
Courses combined with hands on practical training will give you a solid theoretical framework for understanding the grief process, the factors that influence it, and the intervention strategies that aid those grieving, and fully prepare you for state and national licensure exams.
