Welcome to the Gerontology Program
at Sacramento State

Student Jen Silmaro and her Great Aunt

The Gerontology Program at Sacramento State provides students with a unique interdisciplinary look at the process of aging. Bachelor students will enroll in courses spanning many different disciplines and will have the opportunity to enroll in a wide variety of elective courses.

Our Program is proud of its past and present:

  • We have had an active and growing Minor Program since the 1970s.
  • We have been actively recruiting and graduating students in the Major (Bachelor of Science) since 1991 .
  • We implemented the Graduate Certificate in Gerontology in Fall 2000 through the College of Continuing Education and began offering it directly through our On-Campus Program in Fall 2008.
  • We offer an individualized Special Master's Program concentrating in Gerontology and one other area of study. Special Master's students develop and title their degree according to their specific goals.
  • We continue to grow and be very dynamic, offering and sponsoring community programs about longevity and other issues related to Gerontology.

Our Plans for the 21st Century include:

  • Enhancing and updating current courses for Gerontology students as well as for students from other disciplines throughout the University.
  • Enhancing and updating educational programs for community members to address the demographic imperatives of the new millennium.
  • Continuing to add service learning components to courses to facilitate application of theory to practice.
  • Providing more opportunities for student involvement in community projects.
