In this advanced level policy course students explore challenges confronting our society with regard to the aging population. Students will examine and analyze, critically, current social policies and trends, and existing social service delivery systems as they impact older adults. This course builds on foundation policy and is designed to provide students with understanding of the policies that affect service delivery to older adults including The Older Americans Act, Medicare, Medicaid, OASI (i.e. Social Security), and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act. These policies will be examined from the perspective of social justice.
