Gerontology

Our Gerontology minor will equip you with the knowledge and skills necessary to work with the burgeoning population of older adults in the 21st Century. The program focuses not only on skills needed to work with aging individuals and their families, but also with the greater social issues that impact older adults. The coursework benefits students in a range of occupations, including social workers, nurses, rehabilitation counselors, administrators, and more. This minor interfaces with other undergraduate programs, allowing students to develop interdisciplinary skills to enhance their careers in gerontology.
