All GERN students are required to take, as their first GERN course, the GERN 5000 course. The only exception to this must be handled by special petition initiated by the academic advisor. In addition to GERN 5000, the student is required to complete the following courses:
GERN 5600, 5620, 5630, 5640, 5660, 5670, and 5680 are considered core courses and must be completed before registering for GERN 6000. There is no required sequence for the GERN 5600 - 5670 courses. However, you may find it useful to complete GERN 5660 early as you will be studying and evaluating research relevant to gerontology in all of your core courses.
SUGGESTIONS FOR ELECTIVES
It is difficult to suggest electives to individuals in the GERN program due to the fact that our students come from varied backgrounds and have a variety of specific areas of interest within the area of gerontology. Thus, the student should consider his/her specific needs, interests, and goals within the area of gerontology in the selection of electives.
ADDITIONAL RECOMMENDATION
It is the student's responsibility to familiarize themselves with the various opportunities and policies outlined in the graduate school catalog. Every graduate student at Webster University should have a copy of this catalog. If you do not have a copy, one can be obtained through the Enrollment Services Center (107 SV).
