| Description | By the year 2041, it is projected that over 25% of Canada's population will be over the age of 65. As the world's populations age, so does the demand for professionals with knowledge in this field.

Gerontology incorporates elements from the following disciplines:
- Anthropology
- Kinesiology
- Psychology
- Education
- Public Health

As a graduate, you will understand individual and societal influences on aging and their relevance to health and well-being throughout the adult life span. | | |
