Gerontology is the study of the process of human aging in all its
many aspects: physical, psychological and social. In the School of Aging Studies
particular emphasis is placed upon applied gerontology, with the goal of educating
students who in their professional careers will work to sustain or improve the quality
of life in older persons. Since Gerontology is an interdisciplinary field, dual
majors with other departments are encouraged. Students interested in either the
B.A., B.S., or minor program, should contact our undergraduate advisor, Gail Smith,
as early as possible in their careers at the University of South Florida.
