      The End-of-Life Studies microprogram will provide students the opportunity to acquire knowledge in the psycho-social, cultural, religious, and historical perspectives on grief, death and dying in our contemporary world. The microgram accepts students from all faculties and professional applicants working in the fields of funeral or end-of-life services. Students may later pursue studies as a palliatherapist (end-of-life doula).
