| Description | The Diploma Program is for students who have completed an undergraduate degree in any discipline and are looking to expand their knowledge of aging. It is meant for those already working with seniors, or those with a related undergraduate degree who wish to work with older persons and/or pursue further graduate studies in gerontology. Over 300 students have successfully completed the diploma program since it was established in 1983. We are based at Simon Fraser University’s Harbour Centre Campus in downtown Vancouver with courses also available through distance education. A limited number of courses may be offered at the main campus in Burnaby. Many of the courses offered in class are in the evening to accommodate those working during the day. | | |
