*A new college orientation requirement, completion of the one-credit ACDV 101  course, Transitioning to College, went into effect spring 2010. If you are a credit student who is new to college (meaning you have not successfully completed college coursework at another institution(s)), you are required to take ACDV 101  during your first semester at CCBC, thereby increasing the number of credits required for the above certificates to 23 credits. Students are required to provide an official transcript(s) to document successful completion of college coursework at another institution(s) in order for this requirement to be waived.

Program Outcomes:

Upon successful completion of the Elder Care certificate, students will be able to:

1. effectively express opinions and facts through both oral and written communication;
2. demonstrate the knowledge and skills necessary to work with the aging population; and
3. exhibit preparedness to work in an entry-level position in a setting serving the aging population.
