A well-rounded schedule of extracurricular activities provides many opportunities for enjoyment and relaxation during the students stay in Southern Indiana and the Louisville, Kentucky metropolitan area. |

Class Organization is encouraged in order that each class might work together closely as a team. Class Officers are elected during the academic year and, with their leadership and faculty guidance, many class functions are planned and enjoyed by the entire student body. Many classes work together collectively to make notable civic and charitable contributions.

Allied
Trades Activities
Allied Trades Activities serve as a valuable supplement to the
student's classroom education. Class visits to manufacturers of
funeral merchandise, crematories and cemeteries in the
Jeffersonville-Louisville area acquaint the student with those
industries that support the profession itself. Throughout
the academic program, guest lecturers address the student body
on various subjects associated with the profession.
Student
Counseling and Guidance
Student
Counseling and Guidance is an on-going process at the College
and is designed to
insure that the student mature in all areas and not just
scholastic areas alone. A student can expect to find
individual counsel and assistance from any member of the
administrative or instructional staff in arranging financial
matters, forming good study habits, making social adjustments,
and solving any other personal or scholastic problems with which
he or she is confronted. Each students problems are held
in complete confidence and are judged on an individual basis and
with full consideration.
Suitable
Housing
Suitable Housing, while attending Mid-America College, is
the responsibility of the student. A student should secure
personal housing based on rental costs, the availability of
public or personal transportation, and the number of members who
will occupy the facilities. The College does not maintain
resident halls or dormitories, but will assist the student in
locating suitable housing in accordance with his or her
specialized needs.
Student
Employment
Student Employment positions are available in many local firms
and businesses, some of which are funeral homes. The
College will assist the student in finding part-time or
full-time employment upon his or her enrollment as most
positions cannot be reserved prior to the arrival of the
student in the general area. Finding suitable student
employment is the primary
responsibility of the student and the College cannot guarantee
employment for its students.
Students seeking funeral home employment should make such arrangements a minimum of two to three months prior to their actual enrollment, as there are many more students than funeral home positions available.
The primary goal of each student should be to successfully complete his or her education. As such, the College recommends that the student pursue studies for a few weeks to determine his or her ability to effectively handle the demands of the academic program prior to seeking employment.
Placement
Assistance
Placement Assistance is provided by the College for both employers
and employees. The College will assist a student in
obtaining suitable employment upon his or her graduation, an
alumnus who wishes to find new employment, or a funeral home
that needs a new employee. Obtaining suitable employment,
however, is the primary responsibility of the graduate.
The College cannot guarantee placement following graduation.
