An interdisciplinary, 24-semester-hour Certificate in Gerontology may be earned by graduate students who wish to study the psychological, sociological, biological, and policy-related aspects of aging and the health, economic, and social concerns of older people. Graduate students enrolled in the certificate program simultaneously pursue a major in an academic unit offering an advanced degree, whereas nondegree graduate students, typically, are either working with or seeking to work with older people. The Certificate in Gerontology provides a broad academic foundation for students who wish to apply the knowledge and skills acquired in their major and/or work experience to a variety of aging-related pursuits. Course work is evenly divided between required and elective courses. For their electives, students choose courses from the gerontology-related offerings of several departments. For more information, contact the Director, Gerontology Program, 602/965–3225.
