Bachelor of Arts - Gerontology

St. Thomas University

Gerontology is 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-fulfilment from multiple perspectives.
