Internships in Gerontology

Central Connecticut State University is proud of its Carnegie Classification for Community Engagement, a national designation that underscores Central’s sustained commitment to meaningful partnerships that serve the public good. This commitment includes internships in gerontology. Internships are open to all students with an interest in aging or gerontology.

Internships with various state, non-profit, and entrepreneurial organizations within the aging services network of Connecticut are essential to preparing our students to meet the needs of the evolving aging landscape. Our partners share our commitment to ensuring that individuals and communities are equipped to support meaningful lives at every age.

All undergraduate students with a minor in gerontology are required to complete a gerontology internship by taking GERO 495 – Internship in Gerontology. This course can also fulfill an elective for the undergraduate gerontology certificate.

Thank you to all the organizations that partner with Central to prepare the future workforce of longevity-ready professionals!
