We usually offer one class in Dallas each fall and spring semester. Frequently the Dallas class is offered via videoconference through an interactive TV link between the UNT campus and the Dallas site. In addition, we plan to offer one class per fall and spring semester via the Internet. Graduate class size typically ranges from 5 to 40 or more students. The range for gerontology classes is usually 5 to 30 students.
DAG has several scholarships available to master's degree candidates.
A student must complete DAG's departmental scholarship application in order to be considered for a scholarship award. DAG does not use teaching fellows or assistants because we offer only one lower-division undergraduate course. The need for research assistants is determined by the research projects in which faculty are engaged at any given time. Research assistantships are usually offered to students after they have enrolled in the master's degree program and faculty have the opportunity to evaluate the quality of their academic work. Three hours of social gerontology are a prerequisite for all majors.
