The Aging and Intergenerational Studies minor is an individualized program of study consisting of 18 credits. Of the 18 credits required for the minor, at least 3 credits must be Intergenerational Studies Linked Credits*.

Choose 3 Intergenerational Linked Credits attached to classes of the student's choice: 3 credits

*Note: When a linked credit is attached to a class that, in itself, is not related to intergenerational studies, only the linked credit will count towards the minor, not the credits for the class.

Choose 3 additional courses for a total of 9 credits.
