What will I learn?

Social Gerontology is designed for students with an interest in the aging process and health care issues as they pertain to older adults. Students explore the physical, social and psychological impacts of aging by focusing on issues and conditions that impact the elderly. What will I learn?You'll typically start with intro classes in subjects like psychology, human services and medical ethics, then move on to more advanced classes in related areas such as communications, sociology and global gender studies. By your junior year, you’ll usually choose a concentration and focus on electives within that area. Throughout the program, you may also take a number of interdisciplinary courses designed to show you how to combine expertise from different areas to solve complex challenges.
