Gerontology

Today, more than 36 million Americans are over the age of 65. With a projected 40 million elderly citizens by the year 2010, interest in the field of gerontology has increased in recent years. Younger generations must come up with ways to best care for and manage critical issues in healthcare and welfare for this aging population.

Continuing Education at Kennesaw State University offers two certificates in the field of gerontology: Applied Management in Gerontology and General Professional. Both programs cover the myriad of issues that older people, families, and our population will face as the number of older Americans continues to increase.

Is this field right for you? People who work with aging adults have a strong desire to help others, effective communication skills, a sense of responsibility, and the ability to manage time effectively. A job in human services involves direct contact with people who require patience and understanding. If these qualities describe your personality, a career in social services might be right for you.
