It is estimated that the population of persons 65 years of age and older will increase from 40 million in 2010, to 88 million in 2050*. This shift demands qualified professionals who can address the impact the built environment has on older individuals, their health and quality of life. The online graduate certificate allows mid-career professionals to acquire focused training in the area of design and gerontology. Credit earned may be applied to a master's degree. *Source: U.S. Administration on Aging (2010) Who should consider this program?
