Why Study Management of Aging Services?

The Master's in Management of Aging Studies offers students the opportunity to analyze the societal implications of an aging population for public policy, the economy, and major social institutions. Graduates will meet a growing workforce need for leaders with professional education to serve in management positions in organizations providing services to older adults.

The Erickson School of Aging Studies’ goal is to prepare graduates to apply this integrated perspective in leadership positions in a broad array of aging services organizations from government agencies/organizations and advocacy/non-profit groups to a variety of positions in the for-profit business arena.
