Gerontology

Study the psychological, social, political, and biological aspects of aging

Do you have a passion for the members of our society approaching or at advanced age? As a Gerontology major at Alfred University, you'll gain an invaluable understanding of 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, explore political and biological issues, and participate in real-world internships as well.
