Educational Gerontology, v29 n4 p279-94 Apr 2003
Survey responses from departments of recreation and leisure studies (2000, n=66; 1991, n=81; 1981, n=97) indicated that 61% currently offer gerontology credentials, a slight decline since 1990. Combined undergraduate/graduate courses have increased; separate gerontology options are rare. Despite predictions of population aging, there has been little change in gerontology course content in recreation/leisure studies. (Contains 19 references.) (SK)
