Major in a Minute: Gerontology

"By 2050, one out of every five persons in the world will be over age 60. There's never been a more important time to study aging.

Gerontology is the interdisciplinary study of aging and older adults. The Gerontology Institute at Georgia State University has been educating students for over 30 years.

We offer a Masters Degree, Graduate and Undergraduate Certificates, and an Interdisciplinary Undergraduate Minor.

Because Gerontology can be a focus within any discipline, our students go on to pursue careers in law, policy, research, public health, advocacy, social work, nursing, business, and more.

Anyone looking for an exciting career in a growing field and who has a passion for effecting change is a great candidate for Gerontology. To learn more about the Gerontology Institute please visit our website at www.gsu.edu/gerontology"
