As Baby Boomers, the cohort born between 1946 and 1964, continue to grow older, demand for gerontological care continues to rise. The need for leaders has become even more prevalent amid the pandemic, which led some workers in the profession to early retirement.

 

Nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and home and community based services are searching for executives to oversee the support they provide to aging populations.

 

Whether you’re a recent graduate, a mid-level manager ready to advance, or a nurse or social worker who wants to explore a new path, the MS in Interdisciplinary Gerontology (MSIG) with a specialization in Long-Term Care (LTC) will get you there.

 

Work and study at the same time: This online, professional degree can be completed on a full-time basis in four semesters or students can attend part-time. Students from all undergraduate programs are welcome.
