    What is a BSc in Gerontology? It is a degree where students learn about aging, the needs of older adults, and how best to provide for those needs. The degree may be geared to those who are pursuing additional medical training. It may also be geared to those students who will be working with senior adults, such as providing advice and support as a case manager. Generally, students will learn about the emotional and medical needs of aging adults, public policies and how they affect seniors, and the aging process in general.

    Medical advances are allowing people to live longer. Students who have earned a Bachelor of Science in Gerontology have valuable skills and understanding to help seniors and their families successfully navigate the aging process.
