California State University at Sacramento has a special master's program with a concentration in gerontology. Students will choose a secondary discipline to accompany and enhance the gerontology concentration such as sociology, psychology, therapeutic recreation, education, ethnic studies, public policy and marketing. Since this program does not have a set curriculum, students are required to meet with the program director to review their goals and needs. Dependent upon the students' choice for their secondary discipline, students will graduate from the program with degree titles such as health and aging, activity therapy and aging, elder policies and politics, healthy aging and recreation, and quality of life in aging populations.
