Overview
About this Degree
Older adults are a diverse group with varied backgrounds, preferences, and needs, and you can have a direct, immediate impact working with this population.
While known for our long-standing online master's and certificate programs specializing in Gerontology as well as undergraduate and graduate minors, in Fall 2015 we welcomed our first cohort of on-campus graduate students majoring in Gerontology.
Our programs at Iowa State University are interdepartmental in nature. This means that students receive content and training in Gerontology as well as a complementary discipline. Students work with a Major Professor with aging interests identified from the diverse faculty across the Iowa State campus. Our faculty investigate all aspects of aging from cells to communities. We believe an interdisciplinary and collaborative approach allows students to enhance their experiences, training, and skills and ultimately their marketability and career success.
