The Master of Arts (M.A.) in Gerontology equips students for leadership roles in aging-related fields or careers in gerontological research. This interdisciplinary program delivers comprehensive knowledge about aging processes, elderly populations, and societal needs through its curriculum. Students benefit from a supportive, engaging learning atmosphere that includes thesis-based research.
The M.A. program features two specialization paths: program administration focuses on developing skills for aging service management and program coordination, while the research track prepares graduates for doctoral studies in gerontology and related disciplines or entry-level positions in aging research organizations.
