Introduction
King’s University College is currently the only university in North America to offer the Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Thanatology. The Thanatology program offers a wide variety of courses, including an overview of bereavement and grief, ethical issues, palliative care, suicide, children and death, spiritual and philosophical issues, change and transition, popular culture, grief and trauma, and diversity and social justice. This unique program gives students several degree options in Thanatology with the option of combining a major or minor in a complementary subject (i.e., Childhood and Social Institutions, Social Justice and Peace Studies, or Psychology). Many of our courses are available online, and our program incorporates various teaching modalities, including in-class instruction, blended learning, and experiential learning. In addition, the undergraduate program offers a practicum course that includes a 45-hour field placement and a grief counseling course that involves experiential learning of basic counseling skills.
