Looking for a meaningful career? Do you care about older adults in your life and community? If so, then you want to be part of the dynamic and growing field of gerontology. Langara offers two programs in this field.

DIPLOMA IN GERONTOLOGY (62 CREDITS)

In the two-year Diploma in Gerontology program, students develop advanced skills and knowledge for positions related to program development, administration, and management. Graduates are prepared to provide innovative services to older adults that prevent social isolation, promote mental, physical, and emotional health, and support older adults to age in place while staying active in their communities.

SOCIAL SERVICE WORKER (GERONTOLOGY) CERTIFICATE (31 CREDITS)

In the one-year gerontology specialization program, students develop practical skills and knowledge to meet the needs of the rapidly growing population of older adults. Students in the certificate program take the first two terms of the Diploma in Gerontology program and exit with the recognized credential of Social Service Worker. Graduates are prepared to work with a population of older persons from diverse backgrounds.

HANDS-ON TRAINING

Combining theory with practice, students gain specialized knowledge and skills to work with individuals, families, and communities to promote health and resilience throughout the aging process. These programs prepare graduates for employment in the field of gerontology within a wide range of service settings such as: health and wellness, education, recreation, community support, advocacy, residential, and palliative care. The gerontology service sector expresses resounding support for the program, provides practicum placements, and hires graduates. Learn more about the hands-on training provided in our practicum opportunities.

Who makes a good Gerontology student?

Empathy, understanding, compassion, and a heart for social service and social justice - if these qualities describe you, perhaps a career working with older adults is for you.

Our students are passionate about working with older adults and develop practical skills and knowledge to meet the needs of this rapidly growing population. We value our connections with the local senior-serving agencies who contribute to our program through guest presentations, field trips, and especially, practicum placement opportunities.

The two-year Diploma in Gerontology allows students to develop advanced skills and knowledge to meet the needs of the rapidly growing population of older adults through a strengths-based and social justice approach. In this interdisciplinary program, students gain a broad and critical understanding of aging processes and social policy issues that affect older persons and their families.

Students also have the opportunity to work with older adults through completing over 300 practicum hours in two field placement settings. This provides an opportunity to apply the theories learned in class to a wide variety of settings that support older adults.
