When you pursue a master of arts degree in
applied gerontology at Ball State, you’ll have access to hands-on learning that gives you the opportunity to
work directly with older adults.
You’ll learn from some of the
best researchers and practitioners in the field. And you’ll be participating in a
well-established program that’s been a member of the
Association for Gerontology in Higher Education for about 30 years. You’ll benefit from small class sizes, interdisciplinary courses, and a flexible approach that allows you to individualize your degree to meet your professional goals and personal interests.
This program is part of Ball State’s
John and Janice Fisher Institute for Wellness and Gerontology within the College of Applied Sciences and Technology. Each year, the annual Kirkpatrick Memorial Conference on Aging invites leading gerontologists to the Ball State campus to report on recent developments in the field, and other professional seminars are available throughout the year.
