The goal of academic advising is to support students as they develop individualized paths through the funeral service curriculum and allowing students to meet their academic, personal, and professional goals. Academic advising is a very important part of the educational experience. The advising staff assist students with choosing to enroll full-time or part-time, provide guidance with academic and graduation requirements, and in deciding their preference in online or on-ground platforms. This team also assists students in determining which program available throughout Pierce Mortuary Colleges is the most appropriate for them, whether that be an associate, bachelor, or certificate program. Prior to enrollment, the Admission Advisors support students with academic related questions. After enrollment, the Academic Advisors serve as a primary point of contact, working in collaboration with faculty, campus partners, and other resources to support students’ academic success. The College desires to see all students achieve their life goals.
