The aging population is booming. Pursue a career with knowledge of age-related issues and solutions.
Gerontology is the study of older people and the issues associated with aging. Although it is housed in the Faculty of Arts, the program in Gerontology is open to all B.A. students as a minor, concentration, major or specialization. Students learn using a multidisciplinary, intergenerational and cross-cultural approach to aging. The curriculum is based on many disciplines, including physiology, psychology, biology, religious studies, ethics, sociology and public policy.
