Overview

Quinnipiac University interdisciplinary program equips students with the expertise to investigate and respond to the unique social and biological issues facing aging populations and their families. Students will work privately with seniors, or in elder care facilities, retirement homes and hospitals to ensure that their physical and emotional needs are met. The gerontology major also paves the way to graduate study in such fields as social work, nursing or other health-related occupations, law and public health. Gerontology majors choose careers as activity directors, counselors and care managers, or assist seniors and their families in finding social service programs and other resources. Students' research could affect public opinion and persuade legislators to effectively address the needs of the elderly. Two semester-long internships allow students to work directly with seniors in settings such as retirement complexes, assisted-living facilities, hospitals and nursing homes. This experience positions them for employment upon graduation in an environment that matches their career goals.

Optional Practical Training (OPT)

OPT and STEM OPT eligibility depend on maintaining F-1 status and on the program. A program counts as STEM only when its CIP code is on the official STEM list — not because its name sounds technical.
