Senior Housing Administration Minor

The minor in senior housing administration introduces students to the context and foundational knowledge required for administrative or managerial work within residential communities for older adults - including independent living, assisted living, Alzheimer's/memory care, and continuing care retirement communities. Students will examine the current U.S. health care and senior housing environment, best practices in day-to-day management and marketing of senior housing communities, and have the opportunity to gain additional understanding of ethical, legal, and gerontological issues applicable to aging populations. Health Administration majors may pursue either the concentration in senior housing administration or complete senior housing coursework to fulfill elective requirements for other concentrations in the degree.

Admissions

The minor is available only to students outside of the Health Administration major.

Policies
