From submitting your application to admission to registration, Northwood Tech is available to help guide you through the admissions process. To help you successfully complete this program, Northwood Tech has developed a set of program requirements and functional ability criteria. For students with a disability, reasonable accommodations are available to help you be successful in the program of your choice.
Admission Requirements
The first step to get admitted is to fill out a Northwood Tech application. Connect with the admissions team and Gerontology faculty virtually and/or in person at any one of our campus locations. Once you’re admitted a counselor and/or your Gerontology program advisor can help you select courses and answer any questions you may have about your education journey at the College. If you’re not quite ready to become a student, shadow a class virtually or in person to meet fellow Gerontology students and your instructors.
