Geriatric Health Online Master Degree

Careers in Aging

Aging is a multidisciplinary field. This means that the study of aging combines or integrates information from several separate areas of study. Biology, sociology, and psychology are the "core" or basic areas, along with content from many other areas of study such as public policy, humanities, and economics.

Gerontology is the study of the aging processes and individuals as they grow from middle age through later life.

Geriatrics is the study of health and disease in later life and the comprehensive health care of older persons and the well-being of their informal caregiver.
