School of Aging and Lifespan Development
Thank you for your interest in Aging and Lifespan Development at Arizona State University's West campus! If you have parents or grandparents in their 50s, 60s, or older – or if you are yourself a student in your 40s or above – you are probably aware of the numerous ways that aging impacts people's lives
From active-adult retirement communities to Social Security and Medicare benefits, from long-distance grandparenting to caregiving for a person with dementia – aging issues permeate our society in ways they never have before.
There are numerous career opportunities for graduates with a degree or concentration in aging areas, including financial planning, recreation and tourism, management of care facilities, engineering and design, medicine and related fields, lifelong learning, government agencies, and social work.
We look forward to hearing from you, and learning about your particular interests in Aging and Lifespan Development!
