Introduction
The Gerontology major is designed to provide students with an interdisciplinary approach to studying the human ageing process from sociological, psychological, and biological perspectives. If you would like an overview of the field of ageing while completing your A.A. Degree, the gerontology major is a good option. Many of the courses are cross-disciplinary and, therefore, count towards the major and the general education requirements for the A.A. Degree. Coursework will also transfer as electives or general education requirements to a four-year institution. Ageing studies may be pertinent to degrees such as Human Services, Gerontology, Psychology, and Social Work.
Upon completion of this program, students will be able to:
Apply major theories and principles to everyday life and determine the impact of these theories on the individual and society as a whole.
Follow directions and apply effective communication skills in a variety of settings.
Support opinions/ideas using solid research principles.
