The University of Pittsburgh Graduate Certificate in Gerontology has played an important role in advancing multidisciplinary education in aging. For several decades, the program brought together students from diverse academic and professional backgrounds to examine the biological, social, psychological, legal, and policy dimensions of aging. Through its coursework and faculty leadership, the certificate fostered a deeper understanding of the opportunities and challenges associated with an aging population and contributed meaningfully to scholarship and practice at Pitt and beyond.
At this time, the Graduate Certificate in Gerontology is winding down and is no longer accepting new applications or program inquiries. We are proud of the program’s history and grateful to the students, alumni, and faculty who helped shape its success.
