Gerontology

At least one core course should be completed prior to enrolling in the practicum. The practicum requires 150 clock hours (50 clock hours per credit hour) and can be a research or teaching experience or placement in a public or private community service setting. Students who have previous aging-related work experience (paid or unpaid) can petition the practicum coordinator to waive 1 credit hour (50 clock hours) of the required practicum, thereby reducing the undergraduate certificate required credit hours to 14.

• All students must maintain a C grade or better (3.00 GPA) in all core and elective courses.

Embedded certificates are conferred concurrently with a degree.
Stand Alone certificates are conferred to a student who is not seeking a degree.
