America's older population is rapidly expanding, making gerontology one of the fastest growing fields today. Research in areas such as psychology, health care, social work, public policy and pharmaceuticals are vital to the growing elderly population. Our online graduate program allows these working adults to acquire the education and training they need in order to keep pace with the rapidly changing world of gerontology.
Students have the convenience of attending class from their own homes on their own schedules.
The Leonard Davis School is distinguished leader in the field of gerontology. Founded in 1964, it has consistently pioneered innovative educational programs including the world's first Ph.D. in Gerontology, the first joint Master's degree in Gerontology and Business Administration, and the first undergraduate Health Science Track in Gerontology. Following in this tradition of leadership and innovation, the internationally recognized faculty of the Ethel Percy Andrus Gerontology Center have developed our online graduate courses. Our faculty and staff are available throughout the program to discuss the lecture topics and class work, and to assist with any technical problems that may arise. Course Format The Online Master of Arts in Gerontology requires the completion of 28 units of course work.
