“I would definitely recommend this program. The class sizes were small, so each student received good feedback regarding their progress. With the population of the older adult continuing to grow, individuals in almost any professional field will need to have the tools to make important decisions while interacting with these individuals. In addition, you can learn more about how the aging process may affect you personally.”
-Mary Beth Koski, recent certificate recipient
