The Graduate Certificate in Aging Studies (AGST) program is open to students who have a Bachelor's degree or higher. The program is designed to meet the needs of professionals interested in the aging population or who may currently work in the field of aging, but would like to increase or formalize their knowledge.
Credits earned in the Graduate Certificate program may be applied to the Master of Science in Aging Studies degree or may be eligible for transfer into another graduate or post-professional program, plan of study, or curriculum.
The Graduate Certificate in Aging Studies may be combined with other UIndy graduate programs in a dual program, allowing students to earn multiple credentials using less time and money.
The Graduate Certificate in Aging Studies is a self-paced program consisting of 18 credit hours. It is delivered completely online, making it accessible to students regardless of geographic location. The online delivery allows students to work toward set deadlines on a schedule that works for them. The program can be completed within three semesters, but you have up to three years to complete all of your courses.

The Graduate Certificate in AGST at UIndy has enriched my career as an occupational therapist. It deepened my understanding of older adults' challenges and positioned me for effective, person-centered client interventions. The program has helped me be more aware of emerging trends in older adult care and educated me on how to advocate for improved services and policies.
