Gerontology
A focus in Gerontology (aging studies) is being offered at Edinboro University.
Students interested in a program of study in Gerontology or in understanding the
processes of aging will find a broad spectrum of course work at Edinboro and
field experience available with many agencies in northwestern Pennsylvania who
work with adult and older adult populations.
This program is designed to offer a student the opportunity to graduate with a
major in any of several departments and a focus in gerontology.
The development of this focus has received strong support not only from the
administration and the disciplines involved, but also from individuals and organ-
izations that are potential employers of persons with this type of training. There
is presently a national shortage of individuals equipped to work with geriatric and
gerontology programs and surprisingly few colleges and universities are attempt-
ing to meet this need.
Students desiring to complete the Gerontology Focus and have it recorded on the
official university transcript should contact Dr. Joyce Jagielo in the Psychology
Department. An advisor will be appointed in the student's area of concentration
and a program of study will be developed which will be sent to the committee on
the Gerontology Focus for review and approval.

History
A minor in history (6 individually selected courses) is an excellent program to
complement those majors which are directed toward specific technical skills.
New careers continually are opening. A combination of history with other disci-
plines leads to expansion and diversification within a variety of careers which
