Description

This course seeks to educate students about the public health, social, psychological, biological, and cultural impacts of an increasingly aging population. As students learn about these aspects of aging, they will examine how changes in aging demographics impact healthcare delivery. They will also explore different cultural attitudes toward aging and how aging is portrayed by the media.
