Introducing a New Course:

Aging (GRTY 510  Fall 2012 3 credits)

With some 77,000,000 adults turning 65 over the next two decades in the United States, careers and course work in aging have never been more needed. GRTY 510 introduces the student to the biological, psychological, social, ethical, economic and cultural ramifications of individual aging and an aging society. It presents an interprofessional approach to the complex benefits of longevity and realities of aging. Further, it discusses aging concepts and bio-psycho-social theoretical frameworks relevant to the field of aging studies.

 

PLEASE NOTE: This course is not yet in the course catalogue for Fall 2012.

This course is available to both graduate and undergraduate students. This semester this course will be offered in place of GRTY 410.
