Gerontology is an emerging area in which graduate training has not been readily available. The Gerontology Graduate Certificate is especially valuable to professionals who need more advanced coursework in this area but do not need a Masters degree, or those who alredy have a Masters degree but would like more specific training in Gerontology.
