Bachelor of Applied Arts In Gerontology

Bachelor of Applied Arts

St. Thomas University offers a Bachelor of Applied Arts (BAA) in two areas: Criminal Justice and Gerontology. Applied arts programs differ from the BA programs in that they combine the study of liberal arts with technical training.

The applied degrees are articulated programs in that each is offered in partnership with a campus of the New Brunswick Community College. Students in the BAA enrol at St. Thomas for part of their program and at the appropriate community college for the rest. Upon completion of their course of study, students are normally awarded two credentials: a St. Thomas Bachelor of Applied Arts Degree and a diploma from the community college.

The Bachelor of Applied Arts in Gerontology examines aging and issues that affect the elderly.

Developed in response to demands for graduates with applied practice in the field, it combines a theoretical foundation in Gerontology and liberal arts with human services training and hands-on experience in the design and delivery of services to the elderly. This four-year program is offered in collaboration with the New Brunswick Community College in Saint John.
