As populations across the globe grow older, societies face new opportunities and new challenges in work and retirement, health and health care, family dynamics and the social and cultural experience of aging.

This four-year degree program brings a multidisciplinary approach to the study of aging, and adds a mental health and addiction specialization to equip you with the knowledge about how mental health, addiction and society interact.

The specialization explores the relationship between mental health and marginalization, the construction of illness, and the social determinant of health. You will understand how social and non-biomedical interventions can impact mental health and addiction as well as promote wellbeing.

This program prepares students for success in a variety of fields such as health policy research, care coordination, education, marketing, and public health. This program provides comprehensive support and resources to students as they embark on their professional journeys, including opportunities for research, internships, and networking with industry professionals.
