What can I do with a Gerontology Minor?
Our Gerontology Minor will prepare you to work in a variety of fields where it is critical to understand the aging process, including the biological, psychological, and social aspects of adult development and aging.
This minor is a 21-23 credit program that is on-campus and is also available to be completed online.
Admission is ongoing throughout the year.
Gerontology Scholarships
Every year the College of Health and Human Sciences awards scholarships to students enrolled in the gerontology minor. These scholarships are funded by the Columbine Health Systems of Fort Collins. Only students who are enrolled in the minor and who have taken or are enrolled to take HDFS 201: Perspectives in Gerontology are eligible to apply for these scholarships. In addition, there are state and national scholarships in gerontology for which students may apply with the support of CSU academic faculty. Learn more at the College Scholarships page.

For example, placement sites include Columbine Health Systems, Elderhaus Adult Day Services, Fort Collins Senior Center, Hospice of Larimer County, and Poudre Valley Hospital Aspen Club.
