If you see yourself working with older adults, consider adding a minor in gerontology to your degree.

Students may obtain a minor in gerontology with their degree program by completing the following courses with a minimum 60 percent average:

• RECL 2P80 or HLSC 2P40
• three and one-half credits from ADED 3P11, HLSC 2P40, 3P33, 4F90, KINE 2P44, 3P99, 4F91, 4P99, NUSC 4Q90, PSYC 3P19, RECL 3P12, 3P95, and 4F07 or 4F27.

Once a student has completed either HLSC 2P40 or RECL 2P80, earning a minimum grade of 60%, they can then complete a Change of Major form to declare the Gerontology minor. Any course that is listed as thesis, directed readings, special studies, advance topics, or that requires a placement must first be approved by a Faculty of Applied Health Science advisor before it can be used towards the minor.
