Management of Aging Services Sample Recommended Course Sequence
The Management of Aging Services is flexible and geared toward the working professional. You can complete classes at your own pace. Students should begin the program with GERON GR 610, Understanding Data, Research Methods for Managers, and GERON GR 612, Healthy Aging Perspectives. These two foundation courses provide a strong foundation for successful completion of the program. Electives can be taken each semester or in the summer. Students may complete the master’s degree in 2 ½ years, by taking two classes each semester. It’s okay to take more or fewer classes in a term, and complete the MS in up to 5 years. The following is a sample course sequence that may work for you.
