The post-baccalaureate Certificate in Gerontology provides fundamental knowledge for those to whom gerontology has not been the primary field of study. Theory and practical application are combined to provide an understanding of the aging process, issues related to older adults and the impact of aging on a variety of disciplines. Those working in businesses or fields which are experiencing an aging demographic may find this certificate to be especially beneficial.
