Minors in Aging
The undergraduate minor program gives students the option of combining their major with an emphasis in gerontology, the study of aging. The minors provide students with the opportunity to supplement their education with a life course perspective of aging processes. The minors, which are multidisciplinary in nature, allow the student to survey the sociological, political, psychological and biological aspects of  aging; to gain an understanding of the current services available to older persons; and to examine the contemporary policy issues facing the field.
Individuals, Societies and Aging
This minor is a fit for students in business, engineering, communication, cinema-television, or arts and sciences interested in developing a broad knowledge of issues in aging. Based largely on disciplines in the behavioral and social sciences, students learn how aging will impact their lives, families and careers. Upon completion of 20 units and graduation, the minor is noted on the students transcript.
Science, Health and Aging
The Science, Health and Aging minor is appropriate for students working toward careers in medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, biological sciences, public health or other health related fields. Admission to the minor is only available to students who have completed 4 units of prerequisites (BISC 220L or BISC 221) as part of their major requirements. Upon completion of 20 units and graduation, the minor is noted on the students transcript.
