West
Windsor, N.J. - As people explore new career options in an
uncertain economy, jobs in the healthcare sector continue
to be strong. MCCC's Center for Continuing Studies (CCS) offers
an abundance of noncredit courses, many leading to certificates
of completion for students seeking entry into the healthcare
field, or those needing refresher courses. Classes are held
on Mercer's West
Windsor campus, 1200 Old Trenton Road. Most classes are
offered in the evenings and on weekends to provide flexible
scheduling for adult students.
The Certificate in Gerontology offers two tracks of
study, one for personal caregivers and one for practitioners.
The program is an excellent fit for nurses, licensed clinical

(Feb. 20-27); Senior Housing Options for Older Adults
(March 3); Aging, Society and Public Policy (March
