The gerontology track allows students focused on working with the aging population to gain a health care management experience. Five core courses include topics such as health care management and leadership as well as financial management in health care. The student also completes five courses specific to gerontology. Topics include social and health care policy for the older adult and long-term care administration. These courses will allow the student to gain a deeper understanding of health care areas specific to the older adult. The courses in the track allow the health care manager to deepen and broaden skills in areas that affect the older adult. The final two courses in the curriculum are related to the curriculum project. The project will enable the student to apply concepts and theories covered in the program courses.
