Aging (Gerontology) is offered as a Bachelor of Arts field of study through the Department of Aging and Family Science at Mount Saint Vincent University, in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The program examines issues related to aging and the challenges older adults face, and how the health and human-service system responds to a growing older population, with students able to pursue a major, an honours program, a combined major, a concentration, or a minor. Coursework often combines lectures with group discussion, drawing on a student body the department describes as diverse in age and life experience, and class projects and presentations are used to build interpersonal communication, conflict management, advocacy, and analytical skills. Students may also access resources such as the Nova Scotia Centre on Aging for research and practical learning. The program complements study in fields such as sociology, psychology, public policy, or women's studies, and its courses can count toward the Family Studies teachable subject for students pursuing Nova Scotia teacher certification. It suits students interested in working in health and human-service settings connected to an aging population, or pairing gerontology with another social-science major.
