MASTER OF SCIENCE IN AGING STUDIES

The face of aging in our world is changing. There is no one picture of the way we age. Our society is filled with older adults who are approaching their later years with energy and passion, as well as those who find themselves challenged by health, finances, or other issues.

Just as it's impossible to capture the diversity of younger people within one definition, older adults also defy one categorization. That is why UIndy's master's degree in aging studies offers both breadth and depth in promoting a positive and holistic view of aging.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau (2014), 20 percent of the U.S. population is projected to be age 65 or older by the year 2030. There is no better time to study the one characteristic that unites all humans – we are all getting older. Our program helps students understand that aging is part of the life course and that choices we make and things that happen to us in our early years have an impact on our later lives.

No matter your undergraduate area of study, you can couple it with a master's degree in aging studies to support, improve, and enhance the lives of the older adults where you live and work.

Job Opportunity Potential

Worldwide recruitment in filling both short and long-term positions is essential to the realization of UIndy’s mission as a global university. Hiring a foreign national employee differs significantly from hiring a U.S. citizen and hiring units may need to obtain employment authorization before the individual can work in the United States.

PSW Opportunity

12 to 36 months( OPT duration depends on the major studied).
