Master of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies with Concentration in Applied Gerontology

Program Overview

The concentration in applied gerontology instills a sound understanding of the processes of aging, a commitment to the pursuit of new developments and research, and a belief that the latter years of life have intrinsic value and offer the potential for human fulfillment. The vision, knowledge and skills of professionals who embrace this philosophy will be increasingly necessary as our global communities seek to meet the needs of their growing populations of older adults.

This concentration instills a sound understanding of aging processes, a commitment to the pursuit of new developments and research, and a belief that the latter years of life have intrinsic value and offer the potential for human fulfillment.

Students in the interdisciplinary applied gerontology concentration may take as many as 18 graduate credit hours in their primary field of gerontology and must complete course work in two other related academic disciplines, such as anthropology, criminal justice, geography, health care management or sociology. At least 6 credit hours must be completed in each of the three academic areas.
