Nursing Programs at The University of Utah at St. George
Master's of Science in Gerontology

The MS in Gerontology at the U began almost 15 years ago as the second graduate degree program in gerontology in the entire intermountain region. The primary areas of specialization are research/evaluation, long-term care and aging services administration (home and community based/institutional; government/private), educational gerontology, and lifelong learning, and geriatric care management. Graduate students also have the opportunity of developing individualized specializations with the approval of their supervisory committees and the Associate Director for Graduate Studies. Graduates of the MS Program will be prepared to generate and disseminate knowledge, provide leadership and quality services in the field of gerontology and apply knowledge in academic, clinical, and public and private service settings in response to the growing demands of an aging society.
