Consider a career as a dedicated Funeral Service professional.
NSCC’s Funeral Service associate degree program was designed by funeral professionals, for funeral professionals. Our ABFSE accredited program is offered in a one-day-a-week, hybrid format, which combines online and in-person learning to tap into the best of both options. Our students experience the flexibility and convenience of online classes, combined with face-to-face instruction by local, experienced funeral faculty, only coming to campus one day each week. All classes are scheduled on Tuesdays only for the duration of the program, allowing our students to more seamlessly schedule classes around work and family obligations. Located in Danvers, MA, we are the only institution offering a funeral service degree in New England, north of Boston.
