Bethel's Senior Care Leadership and Administration Certificate offered through Bethel's College of Adult & Professional Studies prepares students to serve in the full continuum of senior care. Students develop competencies in human resources, accounting, gerontology, and regulatory issues—all in just one year of study. A bachelor's degree and completion of two practicum courses are prerequisites to sit for licensure. Program directors will assist with placement, but please note that practicums are competitive.
