Programs in Gerontology at St. Cloud State University

Undergraduate Programs

Gerontology offers classes in a variety of formats (face to face, hybrid and online) for different learning options and style (yes, we can accommodate online students!). If you are not sure which options are best for you, we are here to help!

The Minor is offered in three plans:   

• Plan A pairs well with any program, due to its broad scope
• Plan B is for Nursing students
• Plan C is self-designed
