Proposed Additions to the Calendar 

GERO 411-3: Special Topics in Gerontology 

The treatment of selected psychological, sociological, economic, 

biological and practical aspects of the aging of individuals and 

populations. 

PREREQUISITE: 60 semester hours credit GERO 300-3 recommended 

GERO 412-3: Special Topics in Gerontology 

The treatment of selected psychological, sociological, economic, 

biological and practical aspects of the 

of individuals and 

populations 

PREREQUISITE: 60 semester hours credit GERO 300-3 recommended 

RATIONALE: Given that the DGT has received monies from 

a

of

external sources (e.g., Squibb, Fred Silber Fund) to 

offer Special Topics courses, there is a real possibility 

that two (or even three) Special Topics courses could be 

offered in a given semester. Therefore, for administrative 

purposes, it is crucial that Special Topics numbers (in 

addition to the existing GERO 410 designation) be 

available.
