Secondary Majors
K-State offers secondary majors in American ethnic studies, gerontology, international studies, Latin American studies, and natural resources and environmental sciences. Open to students in all colleges, these secondary majors are designed to be taken concurrently with a primary major. Most programs of study will allow students to take both a primary and a secondary major within the normal four-year program, especially because courses applied toward the secondary major may also satisfy requirements for general education or restricted electives.
Program requirements follow a common pattern. Each includes two or more of the following features: an interdisciplinary introductory course (which might also satisfy distribution requirements); a list of electives from which students choose about 18 hours; and an interdisciplinary senior seminar featuring supervised independent study.
Each program has a supervisory committee and a director to whom students may refer for advising.

Gerontology
Gayle Appel Doll, Director
Center on Aging
103 Leasure Hall
785-532-5945
E-mail: gerontology@k-state.edu
www.k-state.edu/gerontology
The older population will grow significantly in the future, especially between the years 2010 and 2030 when the baby boomers reach age 65. By 2030 the 65+ age group is expected to grow to 20 percent of the population. Because of the increasing numbers of older persons and the fact that those elderly are living longer, there is growing need for people who have a variety of skills to work in the field of aging.
Gerontological specialists carry out diverse roles similar to those of other professionals while devoting the major portion of their professional time to working for or with older people. Their roles fall into the categories of direct service provision, program planning and evaluation, marketing and product development, advocacy, education and training, and research.
Secondary major
The secondary major in gerontology is a 24-credit-hour program of study that may be added to any primary major in any department/college at K-State. It includes two required courses (Introduction to Gerontology and Seminar in Gerontology) and 18 hours of elective gerontology courses from the list of approved courses offered in departments across the university.
Emphasis in long-care administration
The emphasis in long-term care administration requires courses that cover 10 training code areas as defined by the Kansas Board of Adult Care Home Administration as well as a 480-clock hour internship.
Students interested in the secondary major in gerontology or the emphasis in long-term care administration must meet with an advisor in the Center on Aging to determine which courses they should take to complete the program. Courses listed below will carry credit in the gerontology studies programs and new courses are added as they are approved.
Interdisciplinary courses

The secondary major in Latin American studies provides opportunities for students to examine issues related to Latin America from a variety of perspectives. This interdisciplinary approach is designed to help students understand the systematic nature of political, socioeconomic, technological, and environmental problems in Latin America and the value systems of the people involved.
The program allows students to work with specialists in the humanities and social sciences, and to benefit from the expertise and experience of scientists and engineers who are engaged in research or development projects related to Latin America. Students who complete the secondary major will be qualified to pursue graduate work in Latin American studies. The curriculum will enhance student qualifications for employment in research, economic development, social action, trade, and diplomacy related to Latin America.
A student from any college may choose the secondary major in Latin American studies to complement course work in his or her major. Many courses may simultaneously meet the student's own college or major degree requirements. In this way, electives and required courses within a college curriculum may count toward the secondary major in Latin American studies.
Courses approved for the secondary major in Latin American studies are found at www.k-state.edu/ias. The website listing is revised each semester as new courses are added or changed and others are removed from the university curriculum.
Please note that other Latin American studies courses are offered as “special studies,” “topics,” “problems,” or “seminar” categories.” Intersession offerings may some- times be acceptable. Transfer credits from approved study abroad programs, or other institutions, may be accepted as part of a student's program of study.

Natural Resources and Environmental Sciences
Charles Martin, Director
118 Seaton Hall
785-532-6727
The natural resources and environmental sciences secondary major prepares students to apply broadly-based scientific knowledge to the use, management, sustainability, and quality of soil, air, water, mineral, biological, and energy resources. The NRES program offers a timely and relevant academic emphasis to broaden the environmental perspective students receive in their primary major.
Government, corporate, and public concerns about natural resource and environmental issues abound. These concerns translate into career opportunities for individuals with interdisciplinary training on how humanity affects global functions.
Because natural resource and environmental issues tend to be so extensive and complex, they exceed the scope of any single discipline. Students in the NRES secondary major study environmental issues from a wide base of academic viewpoints. Involvement with students and professors from other disciplines adds skills typically required in environmental careers.
Enroll by appointment with the director or by electronic form on the webpage
