Gerontology

The Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) dual-major option in Gerontology at North Dakota State University provides unique opportunities to study and conduct research in this growing and exciting field by linking a discipline based Plan of Study with an interdisciplinary perspective on aging. Depending on your specific area of interest, students will combine academic coursework in a primary major (Developmental Science, Exercise Science and Nutrition, Occupational and Adult Education, or Psychology) with a secondary dual-major in Gerontology. The mission of the option is to promote aging-related research and education at NDSU that uses a discipline based perspective that serves to enhance the length and quality of life.
