Gerontology

Why it's hot: As the U.S. population grows older and lives longer, more professionals are needed to advise or care for seniors, especially in the areas of health, finances, recreation, travel, adult day care and real estate.

Careers: Medical and elder care practitioners, nursing and residential home administrators, social workers, marriage and family therapists, nutritionists, counselors, lawyers, realtors, financial advisors, public policy makers, marketing professionals, and more.

UVM's program: The gerontology certificate is designed for individuals with careers in such diverse fields as counseling, medicine, social work, business or other related fields who want to learn more about serving an aging clientele. The certificate is also ideal for those thinking about a career change and are interested in working with the aging population.
