Bachelor of Arts in Gerontology

Program Overview

The aging population is booming. Pursue a career with knowledge of age-related issues and solutions.
Gerontology is the study of older people and the issues associated with aging. Although it is housed in the Faculty of Health, the program in Gerontology is open to all B.A. students as a minor, concentration, major or specialization. Students learn using a multidisciplinary, intergenerational and cross-cultural approach to aging. The curriculum is based on many disciplines, including physiology, psychology, biology, religious studies, ethics, sociology and public policy.

With Canada’s population aging rapidly, quite similar to several Western countries, working with older adults and familiarity with aging and age-friendly practices will become more common in all areas of employment.
The aging of Baby-Boomers has created new opportunities for careers in Gerontology. Many of our graduates have successful careers as human service professionals, researchers, program directors, administrators and small business owners.
