The mission of John A. Gupton College is to provide a basic liberal arts education as well as a professional curriculum in funeral arts and sciences. The course work leads to the Associates of Arts Degree. The liberal arts component is also designed to serve as the foundation for the pursuit of other degrees. Our curriculum is designed on the collegiate level, with the dual purpose of fulfilling the needs both of students who wish to eventually pursue other degrees and of those going directly into Funeral Service Careers.
