Welcome
The Gerontology Program
The St. Cloud State University Gerontology Program, a part of the School of Health and Human Services, is an interdisciplinary course of study providing students with an integrated perspective on aging and older adults. The program combines classroom instruction, service-learning, internships and other experiential activities in order to integrate current theory and practice in the field of aging. An undergraduate minor, a Master of Science degree, and a graduate certificate are offered.
What Is Gerontology?
Gerontology is the science that studies the process of aging in various dimensions: social, cultural, psychological, biological, demographic, political, legal, economic, educational, business and programmatic.
Consider the Possibilities
The Gerontology Program offers personalized attention and a range of academic and applied opportunities to provide students with an integrated perspective on aging. The program is designed to provide a knowledge base for students with a wide range of career and personal goals, including but not limited to: public policy and programs; retail consumer markets; health care; social services; banking and business; long term care; transportation and travel; international development; community planning and pursuit of an advanced graduate degree.
