Aging is a growing field of practice; with the aging of the Baby Boom generation, people 65 and older will represent one in every five Americans by 2030. The School of Education, Health and Human Services offers a certificate in interdisciplinary gerontology designed to improve programs and services to meet the needs of this growing, diverse population and their families. The certificate is available to any student who completes the prescribed program of study described below.  (Public Health majors must take SW 336 and either SW 431 or CFD 452.)

*(All prescribed courses must be completed with a grade of “C” or better to receive the certificate.)
