Gerontology

The field of gerontology is expanding as the number of older Americans continues to increase, fast outpacing other segments of the population.  With 35 million Americans currently over the age of 65 and a projected 40 million older citizens by the 2010, our society is facing crucial issues about aging which will impact the health and welfare of every single American.


Implications for academic study and training in Gerontology are enormous.  The study of aging will be of critical importance during the next century as the 'baby boomers' pass into the ranks of the older generations.
