Major in Pathology I'm 20/F
Just did a general transfer study major in a community college, I graduate in December. It's time to pick the rest of my life, and I'm overwhelmed.
I want to major in pathology and be a coroner for the rest of my life. I live in Missouri, and initially I was set on going to Missouri State University, and now I'm not so impressed with their major programs, as there isn't one for pathology, but rather criminology being the closest related.
I'm a good student, and I'm not afraid of living away from home, but I rather stay closer to home. (Missouri, Illinois, Iowa, Indiana) ect.
Any suggestions on how I can start to achieve my life goal of majoring in pathology.

A family friend had a similar problem when he wanted to be an undertaker. He had trouble finding a school that would offer the degree he needed to meet the licensing requirements.
There are many different types of pathologists including the corner who also, is usually the medical examiner and a licensed doctor as well. Depending on the type of pathologist you wish to be will depend on the type of program you need to complete.
I will make the same suggestion to you that I made to the family friend. Find a pathologist of the type you wish to become. Ask if you can job follow or shadow for a few days to assure yourself that this is the career path you wish to follow. While job shadowing ask where he, she or others in the organization received or applied to for their educations. Then look to see if those institutions still offer those course. ]
