With the increase in older adult populations in Oregon and across the globe, trained professionals in a broad array of career fields will need to understand the physical, cognitive, and social changes that occur as we age.  Our Gerontology:  Aging and Older Adulthood Certificate will help students learn more about aging in context; develop important competencies related to organizations and businesses that serve older adults; and enhance their career and graduate school outcomes.

Learning Outcomes
