Secure Your Future in the Field of Aging

For the first time in human history, the majority of people can expect to live well into their sixties. The aging population will become more racially and ethnically diverse with time, meaning that untrained professionals will be unable to adequately provide for the needs of older adults. Professionals who are able to account for an individual’s unique circumstances, such as their race, gender and health, will find their expertise rewarded. To benefit from emerging opportunities, students can enroll in our online MS in Innovative Aging Studies program.
