Suggested Second and Third Professional Development Areas
Each Professional Development Area consists of a minimum of 12 semester hours. Suggested Professional Development Areas to complement the applied gerontology major include (but are not limited to) behavior analysis, business administration, communication studies, health promotion, merchandising and hospitality management, psychology, public administration, recreation, rehabilitation, social work, sociology, and speech and hearing sciences. Transfer students with sufficient semester hours of course work in other fields related to applied gerontology (e.g., mental health, nursing, occupational therapy, physical therapy) may use these fields as Professional Development Areas. Specific courses for the Professional Development Areas are chosen with the approval of the academic adviser.
AGER 4840-4850, Studies in Aging Field Practicum, should be taken at or near the end of the student's degree program. Students must complete AGER 3480, 4550 and 4780 before enrolling for AGER 4840-4850.
