The Bachelor of Science in Gerontology equips students for careers in organizations that provide and manage services for elderly populations, such as senior centers, meal programs, long-term care facilities, recreational and counseling services, research institutions, and social welfare agencies.
Alongside foundational general education, the gerontology curriculum offers flexibility, allowing students to tailor coursework to align with specific career paths in the aging field.
Gerontology students choose a specialization from disciplines like administration, biology, healthcare, human resources, psychology, leisure studies, or sociology. These focus areas are developed collaboratively between students and their academic advisors. Those following the standard gerontology pathway can complete their degree within eight semesters, assuming they start the program as first-year students or early in their second year.
