Now this unique educational experience is available off campus. Both are targeted for professionals and paraprofessionals working with older adults in a variety of settings. Typically, we take the program to an organization or agency that would like to offer its facility for students to meet.
People have busy schedules and the commute to a campus can be cumbersome.
We bring the service right to the work place so the employees do not have to travel. The Basic Aging Certificate is earned by completing three undergraduate courses, Introduction to Gerontology, Biology of Aging, and Dying, Death, and Bereavement. Three undergraduate college credits are earned for each course. Thereafter, the successfully completed 18 combined credits earned can be applied toward an associate or bachelor s degree. Since Cal U is accredited, the accrued credits are transferable to other accredited educational institutions.
