Program/Degree
Aging Law and Policy (Certificate NDP)  
Program Description

As the American population ages, there is an increasing need for professionals who work in the aging sector to better understand the legal and ethical issues that surround working later-in-life, long-term care, and the role of technology in changing how healthcare is monitored and delivered to seniors.

This fully online program covers these topics, and many others are covered in the Graduate Certificate in Aging Law and Policy from University of Arizona Law. 

The aging sector is an area of enormous growth that crosses disciplines, which is why this Certificate coursework reflects an innovative, multidisciplinary collaboration from academics across the University of Arizona in law, the health sciences (medicine, nursing, pharmacy, and public health), social and behavioral sciences, engineering, and psychiatry, along with the UA Center on Aging.

You will gain expertise to support employability and success within this multifaceted, highly regulated field, including the ability to identify areas of potential legal risk and effectively communicate with older adults, legal counsel, regulatory agencies, ethics committees and risk management.

 
Department/Academic Unit(s)

Law

Your legal education will teach you to “think like a lawyer,” honing your analytical skills, developing better critical thinking, and acquiring the professional skills you need no matter where your education takes you.
