Technical Certificate Programs Catalog 2025-2026

CGRO 100 Introduction to Gerontology

The technical certificate in Gerontology provides students the knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary to work with the elderly. It aims to develop new concepts, ideas, values and skills that prepare students to offer an appropriate service to the elderly. It is expected that graduates will have acquired the competencies to be able to serve in public and private agencies that take care of the elderly as well as to offer their services to families on their own. Students will develop a greater sensitivity towards the care of the elderly in an area of increasing demand, meeting, therefore, the needs of the Puerto Rican society.
