Program Overview
The Graduate Certificate in Gerontology is designed to provide graduate education in Gerontology for those who already have a graduate degree in another field, those currently completing a graduate degree in another field, who are interested in working with older adults, and others seeking a credential to work in the aging field. Advanced Gerontology Certificate students are welcome to complete an optional practicum experience which is meant to provide hands-on experience for those who are relatively new to the field or to broaden the experience of those with extensive practical experience working with older adults. Each student who is interested in this optional experience will work with the program director to design a Practicum which will meet their specific needs.
