What is expected in regards to the internship requirements?
All certificate and minor undergraduates are required to complete a three credit internship that focuses on working with older populations and the older aging processes. Internships with students working primarily with children, adolescents, young adults, or young families do not meet these requirements. If you are a Health Sciences, RMYL, Sociology, or MFHD major, speak with your gerontology advisor about the specific expectations and requirements. If you have another major, please come and speak with Dr. Vaughn Call, the director. He will work with you in arranging a suitable internship within your major. If your major doesn’t have an internship program, arrangements will be made to do an internship through the School of Family Life Internship Office. Best wishes in your Gerontology Endeavors!
