Certificate Programs

The School of Social Work offers post-baccalaureate certificate programs in gerontology and addictions counseling.

Gerontology Certificate Program

The University of New England's post-baccalaureate Gerontology Certificate Program (GCP) is designed for individuals who wish to attain an academic credential in the area of gerontology. Successful completion of the 18-hour GCP will result in a certificate of graduate study (CGS). Courses are designed for practicing professionals seeking to maintain currency in their fields, and for non-professionals wanting to explore the field of gerontology and the issues of aging.

Addictions Counseling Certificate Program

The School of Social Work (SSW) offers a Certificate of Graduate Study (CGS) in its Addictions Counseling Certificate Program (ACCP). Matriculation in the Master's of Social Work (MSW) Program is not required for the ACCP. Students enrolled in both the MSW program and the ACCP program may receive the MSW degree and a CGS in Addictions Counseling. CEUs are available.

As an extension of the MSW program, the ACCP focuses on developing expertise in addictions counseling and leads to the Certificate of Graduate Study (CGS) in Addictions Counseling. It builds on elective courses in the MSW program and incorporates a clinical component. Curriculum
