Gerontology (Certificate)
Gerontology is
the study of aging - a very complex and fascinating process which we
all experience. It is complex because it encompasses the physiological,
social, emotional, cognitive, and economic aspects of growing old. By completing
the one-year certificate program, students may find immediate opportunity
for employment in professional and paraprofessional entry-level positions
at human service agencies, senior centers, residential communities,
health care facilities, and other agencies that provide much needed
services for the elderly. For others, this certificate will allow them
to further enhance their knowledge of gerontology.
