    Gerontology Minor

    UNG offers an interdisciplinary gerontology minor. All courses are fully online and offered during the fall, spring and summer semesters. The Gerontology Minor is designed to enable students at the undergraduate level to obtain a minor in 2-3 semesters of course work

    You will complete 18 semester hours of upper-level undergraduate courses. Three hours of which must come from the introduction to aging classes, and 12 hours must come from Gerontology electives. Additionally, students must select 3 hours from the following capstone offerings: a supervised Practicum Experience (GERO 3581) or a Research Experience (GERO 3681) with a faculty member working in any area of Gerontology, or in a Gerontology setting. A faculty member in the Gerontology program must approve the practicum or research experience

    Upon completion of the program, students opting for the certificate will receive it in addition to the major. Degree seeking students will have the certificate noted on their transcripts.
