This undergraduate certificate in gerontology gives a global, interdisciplinary understanding of population aging, delivered entirely online by Universite de Montreal's Faculty of Continuing Education. The 30-credit program addresses the challenges of aging with an emphasis on health promotion, disease prevention, and safety, preparing students for proactive practice on aging-related issues affecting individuals, families, and communities. Delivery is asynchronous and distance-based, drawing on contributions from multiple disciplines such as health, social work, and psychology. The program can be completed full-time or part-time, though full-time completion within one year is not guaranteed, and it is offered starting in the fall, winter, and summer terms. The certificate suits people already working in, or planning to enter, fields that serve older adults, such as health and social services.
