Additionally, students must select 3 hours from the following capstone offerings: a supervised Practicum Experience (GERO 3581) or a Research Experience (GERO 3681) with a faculty member working in any area of Gerontology, or in a Gerontology setting. A faculty member in the Gerontology program must approve the practicum or research experience
Upon completion of the program, students opting for the certificate will receive it in addition to the major. Degree seeking students will have the certificate noted on their transcripts.
