Overview
Gerontology examines the experience of aging from different perspectives: psychological, sociological, physical, spiritual, and philosophical. It’s the study of the process of aging, how society defines aging, and how individuals understand their own later years.
Gerontology at STU is one of two stand-alone programs in Atlantic Canada. As a multidisciplinary department—drawing on courses from Psychology, Sociology, and Women’s Studies and Gender Studies—students develop an understanding of what it means to age and the progression of human development and self-fulfillment from multiple perspectives.
Students in Gerontology gain skills in critical thinking, problem solving, communication, and interpersonal relations, while developing the capacity to analyze situations from multiple perspectives, and challenge ageism in society.
