The Gerontology Department offers advising to current Gerontology majors and minors as well as anyone interested in learning more about studying Gerontology at Sacramento State.

Current Majors & Minors

Current majors and minors meet with a Gerontology advisor every semester to make sure they are on track to complete their degree. We help students select courses, find practicum placements, connect with supportive services, apply for graduation, and explore graduate school and career opportunities.

Future Students

Whether you are already a Sacramento State student or thinking about coming to Sacramento State, we would be happy to visit with you about the Gerontology degree options. A Gerontology faculty member can review the courses you have already taken, if any, and help you decide if Gerontology would be a good fit for you as a major or minor. We can also help you declare your degree when you are ready.
