The Gerontology Interdisciplinary Program is a university-wide program within the College of Nursing and has awarded over 100 Master of Science degrees and more than 500 certificates since 1973. The recently added Minor now offers undergraduates the opportunity to layer the study of aging with their chosen major.

Gerontology faculty come from diverse backgrounds including health promotion, human development, sociology, social work, and nursing. They are affiliated with the Hartford Center of Geriatric Nursing Excellence, the University’s Center on Aging, AGHE and the Gerontological Society of America.
