Gerontology Minor

Carol Jenkins, Director, Office of Aging Studies, 328 Rivers West Building

The gerontology minor augments major fields of study with an overview of issues confronting elderly people and their service providers. In recognition that aging can be viewed from a variety of perspectives, courses from several academic programs are available. Special topics courses with aging as their primary content may be counted toward the minor. Inquiries should be directed to the associate director for educational programs. The minor requires 24 s.h. of credit. A maximum of 6 s.h. may count toward foundations curriculum requirements and the gerontology minor.
