The Master of Arts (M.A.) in Gerontology equips students for leadership roles in aging-related fields or careers in gerontological research. This interdisciplinary M.A. program delivers comprehensive study of aging processes, elderly populations, and societal needs of an aging society. Students benefit from a supportive, engaging learning atmosphere. The degree offers two specialization paths: program administration focuses on developing skills for aging service management and program development, while the research track prepares graduates for doctoral studies in gerontology or related disciplines, as well as entry-level positions in aging research organizations.
