Degree Program Information |
| Name | : Gerontology | |||
| Program | : Human Services | |||
| Description | : This certificate is designed for individuals who desire knowledge, skills, and abilities to prepare them to effectively provide services and goods to an older population. The certificate is multidisciplinary, integrating knowledge and skills from different fields. It equips students with basic knowledge of gerontology and provides them with the opportunity to learn skills for working with older adults. The certificate includes two options: one for students seeking a bachelor’s degree, to help integrate gerontology knowledge with knowledge in the major area of academic study, and a more vocationally oriented option for students not seeking a higher degree. Through a practicum experience, students work with gerontology professionals to apply what they learn in the classroom to practice with seniors in different settings (e.g., assisted living centers, retirement communities, nursing homes, hospitals, senior day care centers). Students must complete six or more courses for a total of 21 semester hours to earn the certificate. | |||
