Certificate in Gerontology
The graduate certificate program in gerontology combines theoretical and applied
course work in aging with the student's graduate curriculum in one of several
departments. Because gerontology is by definition multidisciplinary, students
in the program are required to take course work outside their major field. Two
other academic units participate in the program: the Department of Psychology
and the Department of Sociology and Anthropology. The program is administered
by the College of Nursing and Health Science and supervised by a committee with
representatives from the participating academic units.
Certificate Requirements
Students applying to the certificate program must have a bachelor's degree
in nursing or a related discipline. Application is made through the College of
Nursing and Health Science. The certificate requires 18 graduate credits: 6 credits
in a field of study, 6 credits outside the field of study, and 6 credits of practicum.
A maximum of 3 credits may be transferred from outside the university. Students
must complete all courses with a 3.000 GPA to earn the certificate.
Certificate in International Health
The graduate certificate program in international health allows students to
develop an understanding of international health through a practicum and a sequence
of courses that includes global health, anthropology, international relations,
communications, geography, and other courses.
Certificate Requirements
Students applying to the certificate program must hold a bachelor's degree,
be in a degree status in a graduate program, or hold a master's degree. Application
