Tackle Global Aging Challenges
Our Social Gerontology, Ph.D., program encourages you to integrate knowledge and research methods from a range of behavioral and social sciences in your study of social gerontology.
Our program–the first in the state of Ohio, and among the first in the nation–builds scholars and educators who can meet the challenges, demands, and opportunities presented by global aging.
As a graduate of the doctoral program, you will be prepared to teach and conduct research in institutions of higher education, and hold positions in policy or service organizations.
