As a reminder, The School of American Thanatology runs on a 3-season calendar offering courses in the Winter, Spring, and Autumn. Courses running within each of our seasons may be self-paced, or run from 7–11 weeks long. Some courses have prerequisites. In the months of July, August, and December we support a rest period for our staff and students. Self-paced courses run during these months, but courses with live components do not.
