This certificate program provides health and human service practitioners the knowledge and skills they need for working with older populations. Core courses explore the biological, psychological, and policy issues of aging and examine practical issues of working with older ethnic minorities. Electives selected with the approval of the adviser allow for the pursuit of special areas in aging. This component consists of three units of fieldwork plus a one-unit seminar.
Placement is arranged for each discipline through the offering department or division.
Students in schools other than Health and Human Services will arrange with their major advisor and the certificate program coordinator, as appropriate.
