Electives tend to be more discipline oriented, but will appeal to students of varying backgrounds and needs. Individuals involved in direct service delivery or with careers related to health and human service delivery, teaching, administration, program development, research, law, policy development, advocacy and leisure and recreation for the elderly are examples of people who should apply. The program is open to employees and others working in the field of aging. Applicants must complete and submit an admission application.
