Interdisciplinary approach
The
Gerontology program at Alfred University offers an interdisciplinary
approach to understanding the aging process and the new challenges
society faces as the proportion of the population aged sixty-five or
above steadily increases. Gerontology students study the psychological
and sociological aspects of aging and explore political and biological
issues as well.
Real-life experience
Both the major and minor in gerontology provide for the application of
classroom knowledge to real-life situations through a supervised
internship. Participating faculty members are drawn from the
Psychology, Biology, Sociology and Political Science divisions.
