The PhD program has been the same tuition since we started it ten years ago. Each year we confer less than twelve degrees. Our graduates come from all across the country, are usually from 40-70 years old, and most have their name outside on the sign. There are very few NAMS PhD's. I am sure that you would be pleased to add your name to this distinguished list.

The National Academy of Mortuary Science has been in existance since 1987. We primarily train funeral service technicians (CMT's). Our graduates are in all 50 states and 15 foreign countries. In some countries our certification is the only schooling available. We have occupied the facilities at 1016 Central Avenue since 1992. Dr Kloss also operates motels, retail, financial and recreational facilities in Hot Springs. Our nine commercial buildings are on Central and Ouachita Avenues. They consist of 200,000
sq ft. We are actually in the Hot Springs National Park, and our buildings are all within blocks of the famous Hot Springs Bath Houses.
