Stakeholders
are invited to provide their feedback on a proposed Bachelor of Science
(Honours) in Gerontology degree program at the National Institute of Social
Development (NISD). NISD has a social development mandate and significantly
contributes to social work education in the country. It is proposed that an
honours degree program in gerontology be offered to future undergraduate
students who wish to pursue careers as gerontologists in both national and
international job markets. At the faculty board meeting on October 3.6.1, 2023,
a survey was conducted to determine the demand for the program, the appropriate
structure, and the relevant course units. The department committee is seeking
your input on this initiative, and the information you provide will be used
solely to conduct a need analysis of the proposed curriculum and will not be
shared for any other purpose. Your valuable opinion is greatly appreciated, and
we kindly request that you take the time to complete the survey. Thank you for
your comment.
