The Certificate in Gerontology is intended for persons with at least 5.0 units of university study who are currently working, or plan to work, in the field of aging.
A Certificate in Gerontology is awarded after successful completion of 6.0 units of study (2.0 units from Level I and 4.0 units from Level II). Students without the necessary prerequisites, however, will be required to take additional courses.
The Certificate in Gerontology is available to students in degree programs. Both the certificate and degree may be taken concurrently. If taken concurrently, the Principles Governing the Awarding of Multiple Credentials will be in effect. If not earned concurrently, the University regulations regarding a second credential will be in effect. Students are advised to review 2.1.9 Holders of University Degrees, Diplomas and Certificates and 2.1.10 Principles Governing the Awarding of Multiple Credentials during program planning and completion.
Because the Certificate in Gerontology program is structured to meet the needs of the part-time student, those students who are contemplating full-time study should be aware that not all of the required courses may be available in any one year. Therefore, students should not expect to complete all requirements in one year. Selected courses are available through distance learning. All students must consult with a departmental advisor before enroling in the Certificate in Gerontology program.
Program RequirementsStudents who are studying for the Certificate in Gerontology are required to successfully complete 2.0 units of Level I courses as prerequisites to Level II. These courses may be taken in any order. However, students should first review all Level II prerequisites before deciding which four courses to take. Level I courses are open to all university students as electives, or for general interest.
