The
emphasis in gerontology is a multi-disciplinary program designed to assist
students planning to enter career-related areas directly involving older persons.
The study of gerontology will also help students prepare for their own aging as
well as to develop a better understanding of and to seek enrichment for the
lives of aging parents and our aging populations.
(All
colleges) — 24 credits with at least 18 credits from the core and supportive
areas (a minimum of eight credits must be from the core) plus a field
experience with a gerontological focus of at least three credits.
