GRADUATE INTERDISCIPLINARY SPECIALIZATION IN AGING The Graduate Interdisciplinary Specialization in Aging offers students advanced educational opportunities in the field of aging. The program allows graduate and professional students an opportunity to gain specific expertise in the care of older adults through both required and elective coursework. The Specialization's core curriculum focuses on the basic components of gerontology shared by many disciplines, while the electives allow students to pursue either a research agenda or a more clinically-oriented pathway. Students are exposed to a broad range of settings and must successfully complete at least 21 hours of course work from the Master List of Courses in order the Specialization to be noted on their transcript.
The Specialization consists of two components. The core curriculum provides students with an integrated series of courses that stress:
- Essential theories in aging
- Issues related to diversity
- Public policy
- Opportunity to apply these skills and concepts in a broad range setting
- Health promotion & disease prevention
- The interdisciplinary, inter-professional & transdisciplinary approaches to care
In addition, departments supplement this course work with discipline-specific instruction and training. Successful completion of the Specialization will appear on students' transcripts.
