    Aging and Longevity Studies

    About

    The undergraduate Certificate in Aging and Longevity Studies is open to interested students of all majors. For the certificate, you will take courses that focus primarily on older people: on the biological, social, cultural, psychological, and other aspects of the aging process and on interventions that benefit older adults.

    Students may choose to obtain a minor instead of a certificate by successfully completing 15 semester hours in Aging and Longevity Studies.

    Undergraduate students may earn the undergraduate Certificate in Aging and Longevity Studies or the Minor in Aging and Longevity Studies, but not both.

    This certificate may be earned by any student admitted to the University of Iowa who is not concurrently enrolled in a UI graduate or professional degree program.

    For more information, review Aging and Longevity Studies in the General Catalog.
