- Description
- Through the interdisciplinary minor in gerontology, students will explore issues and topics related to aging in today’s society. Students will benefit from a broad knowledge base drawn from a selection of courses from departments across the university including the social and natural sciences and humanities. Gerontology incorporates an understanding of psychological, social, and biological changes across the lifespan and their effect on policy and the economy. The Gerontology Minor will prepare students interested in working directly with older adults and their caregivers through their major field of study (e.g. nursing, occupational therapy) as well as those interested in policy, community services, human services, and business.
