| What it is | Gerontology is the study of aging and older adults, covering how bodies and minds change with age, the psychology of getting older, and the social policies that affect seniors' lives. You'll learn about health information systems, aging-related health conditions, and how society can better support an aging population. This program suits people interested in healthcare, social services, or policy work with older people. | You study human behaviour, relationships, and social systems from childhood through adulthood, drawing on sociology, psychology, and policy analysis. This program is broader than social work alone because it covers family dynamics, community development, and social change rather than focusing only on professional counselling or casework. It suits people interested in understanding how families and societies work and who want careers in social services, policy, research, or international development. |
