- The Master of Gerontological Studies (MGS) degree prepares students for work in a wide variety of aging-related fields. MGS graduates generally choose one of three directions: research/academic work, policy, or non-social work direct services. Graduates hold jobs in a range of public and private settings as program or facility administrators, planners, practitioners, researchers, advocate, and trainers. New job opportunities for well-trained gerontologists are constantly emerging. About one-half of MGS graduates go on to pursue a Ph.D. at some point in their careers.
- The MGS curriculum provides students with:
- A thorough background in theory, policy, and research in social gerontology
- Hands-on experience through an individualized and supervised field practicum (domestic or abroad)
