Features of Undergraduate Program

The undergraduate program provides professional training in gerontological and geriatric care as well as the five-track of specially designed courses, including “nutrition and health”, “dementia care”, “palliative and cancer care”, “care service management”, and “technology and aids”. This curriculum aims to build students’ professional knowledge as well as humanistic values. Through solid training and progressive internship, our students will become outstanding professionals in the field of “health care”, “health promotion”, and “health management”. They will be well-prepared to provide health promotion, health protection, early screening and intervention, disability limitation and rehabilitation care services to the elderly and successfully manage various healthcare situations. The curriculum is designed in line with Taiwan’s national policy of “aging with vitality and aging in place”. We anticipate our graduates become important human assets in the gerontological healthcare industry in Taiwan and worldwide.
