Minoring in Gerontology involves the study of the human aging process. In an interdisciplinary approach, you will take courses in psychology, biology, sociology, kinesiology and family studies to understand the physical, behavioral and social changes associated with aging. What are the symptoms of age related diseases? What ethics surround elderly people’s decision making? How does mental health affect physical health? You will gain knowledge and skills that are important for a career working with the elderly.
