Testimonials
"This program helped me to gain the confidence to participate in and complete college level courses after being away from school for so long. The most challenging part was being able to juggle the demands of a full time job, family and school. This challenge grew when I needed to add 60 hours of fieldwork experience into the equation. Although it was a challenge, I learned something about myself. And that was that I could manage the schedule and be successful at it! This has given me the confidence to continue my education."

"This is my first experience with online learning (and my first time in school since 1972!), and I would recommend this program to anyone!"

"People often ask me what a certificate in gerontology can do for them... Some enroll for the credential and added expertise, which help to demonstrate to future and present employers a dedication to this age group. Others sign up to see if this is the field that they wish to pursue. Others take the courses for insights into their own aging—or their parents' aging. Most join the program because they just want to do their jobs better."
