Central Washington University offers a diverse range of programs and is committed to student success in various fields. The Gerontology program, while important for addressing the needs of an aging population, presents challenges with a long debt payoff period and a low starting salary, making it a less viable career path financially.
Warning: It's better to just get ANY job than to join this program!
This program has a negative lifetime value - that means that your salary won't go up enough to cover the costs + debt of going!
