Career Information
The aging population is increasing and will continue to expand. Presently, every ninth American is elderly. By the year 2020 every fourth American will be over 65 years of age. As the elderly population expands, so does the need for trained professionals with an understanding of the needs of this population. If you are currently working or interested in gaining employment with one of the many programs for the elderly that receive Medicaid and/or Medicare reimbursement, you are now required to have at least a bachelor’s degree with some training in gerontology.

In addition to professional preparation, Marygrove’s gerontology program will provide you with increased understanding of your older relatives, and it will help you prepare for your own retirement and older adult years.
