New Gerontology Program at York County Community College

This fall, YCCC is introducing a new Gerontology program, which offers both a certificate and Associates degree. This program will provides training that prepares students for direct service careers working with elderly populations, such as in senior citizen homes or retirement communities. As an added bonus, depending on elective choices, this is a program that can be completed almost completely online.

For more information, a pdf can be found here, or go to the YCCC website.
