Social Gerontology Minor

The number of older persons is growing rapidly, and there is increasing demand for professionals who will serve the needs of the aging population either directly or indirectly. A minor in Social Gerontology is designed to expose students to a variety of courses that examine aging processes and aging issues from multiple perspectives.  Thus, earning a Social Gerontology minor will give students an edge in pursuing further study or a career in gerontology. The minor may particularly appeal to students in health professions, social work, family and consumer science, recreational administration, health education, occupational therapy, exercise and sports science, communication disorders, as well as majors in social sciences including sociology and psychology.
