Does anybody know if gerontology courses are classified as behavioral science courses according to AACOMAS? I know some schools require a year of behavioral sciences, and I've only found one source that says anything on the topic (it said gerontology does count towards behavioral sciences). Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!

mine counted as behavioral science because it was offered through the psychology department. what department is yours offered through? go from there.

Gerontology has its own department at my school, but for degree requirements it's usually interchangeable with sociology.

according to http://forums.studentdoctor.net/showthread.php?t=596504 (which may or may not be the most updated list. i honestly doubt that aacomas has reclassified stuff recently but still check with their list to be sure), sociology is a behavioral science. so you'd probably be safe listing it as such. 🙂
