Gerontology
Minor:
Gerontology
is the holistic study of aging. It is a useful complement to numerous
majors including those preparing students for work in human service
settings, recreation and leisure, marketing, policy and planning,
and in the design of environments, products, and attire. Students
seeking applied settings are encouraged to intern or work in aging
services to enhance their courses. To prepare for graduate studies,
students are encouraged to participate in research with older adults.
This minor has 12 required hours and 12 hours of electives, which
allow the student to fit special interests and needs. Many courses
in the minor count for other majors and minors as well.
