With the number of older adults in the U.S. increasing dramatically, gerontology is becoming one of the true "growth careers" of the present and future. By the year 2030, roughly 20% of the US population will be 65 and older, so some of the greatest areas of need are projected to be in the fields of human services and the health professions. No matter what your major or field of study is at URI, taking courses in gerontology will help to enhance your knowledge and understanding of this rapidly growing older adult population.
