Undergraduate CertificateAging Studies for Health Professionals

An undergraduate certificate in aging studies for health professionals (UGC-AGE) allows both full-time students and working professionals to expand their knowledge in the fundamental concepts of aging, which allows them to better serve an aging population they frequently encounter. The UGC-AGE introduces students to the field of aging and prepares them in the psychological, biological, and sociological aspects of aging. Students then have an opportunity to focus on content specific to either "diversity and aging" or "community resources and aging networks" for their final credit hours.
