The Certificate in Advanced Social Work Practice in Gerontology offers the opportunity to focus and build on developing advanced practice knowledge and skills relevant to social work practice with older adults. The coursework and field internship are to be completed in the Advanced year of the MSW program. Students will be required to formally declare their interest in obtaining a certificate before applying to graduate in order for it to be awarded. Additional information on the formal application will be sent out to all students when it becomes available. As this declaration process is being finalized by the university, MSW students interested in pursuing the certificate should consult with the Student Advisor as needed.
