Gerontology Graduate Certificate


Banner Code:  HH-CERG-GERO

College: College of Health and Human Services

The graduate certificate program in gerontology combines theoretical and applied course work in aging with the student’s graduate curriculum in any department. Because gerontology is by definition multidisciplinary, students are required to take course work outside their major field. The program is administered by CHHS and housed in the Department of Social Work.

Admission Requirements

Applicants must meet the admission standards and application requirements specified in the Admissions  section of the catalog and must apply using the online Application for Graduate Admission. The application process is competitive, and applications are considered for the fall and spring semesters. For application deadlines and detailed application requirements please refer to the CHHS Admissions website.

The graduate certificate in gerontology may be pursued on a part-time or full-time basis.

Certificate Requirements


Candidates must earn 15 graduate credits with a minimum GPA of 3.00 in course work, and no more than 3 credits with a grade of C to earn the certificate. Detailed graduate certificates  are listed in the AP.6 Graduate Policies  section of the catalog.
