The interdisciplinary minor in aging consists of seven courses,
which must include either 01:830:335 Adult Development and Aging or
01:920:303 Social Gerontology, normally taken as introductory courses.
Both courses may be counted toward the minor. The remaining courses
must be selected from the list below. A minimum of three courses must
be taken at the 300 level or above. At least five of the seven courses
must be taken outside the student`s major, with at least two courses in
one other discipline. The minor also requires the completion of a
culminating paper that may be done in conjunction with any upper-level
course listed below, in a faculty-sponsored independent study course,
or as a departmental or college honors project. This paper is
considered for approval by two members of the interdisciplinary
committee, one of whom may be a faculty member in the student`s major.
