Curriculum

The Graduate Certificate in Gerontology offers students flexibility in the curriculum plan. Students can choose to take courses that fit their schedules and professional needs. The courses do not have to be completed in a specific order, but the Applied Experience in Aging/Gerontology usually culminates the program. Students are required to meet with Dr. Bowen, the Gerontology Program Coordinator, to plan a course schedule and review the program advising sheet.
