People are living longer. While this represents one of the crowning achievements of the last century, it is also a significant challenge. Longer lives must be planned for. The minor program in aging offers you the opportunity to create positive differences in the lives of older adults. You develop the tools and mindset that enable you to anticipate challenges in existing social structures at every level as the proportion of retired adults increases faster than the number of people in the workforce. You learn to develop solutions for an aging population's needs in areas of personal finance, transportation, increased demands for health care, assisted-living options and recreation.
