The curricula presented below is an example only. The example provided assume the program will take you three semesters to complete. It may be adjusted to accommodate more or fewer semesters. You may take courses in any order you wish. Approximately 10 credits per semester will require you to spend 30 hours per week on coursework. If you adjust your credits, your time commitment will change proportionally.
Suggestions:
GMS 6483 Theories of Aging, GMS 6099 Research Methods in Gerontology and GMS 6484 Geriatric and Age-Related Diseases should be the first three courses you take.
