University of South Florida

The School of Aging Studies at the University of South Florida is an academic program dedicated to its primary mission of excellence in applied aging research and education. We are one of the oldest and largest gerontology education programs in the United States, and one of the few programs offering bachelors, masters, and doctoral degrees in Gerontology and Aging Studies. Our Ph.D. in Aging Studies program is a campus-wide doctoral program, hosted by the School of Aging Studies, but involving faculty from throughout the USF campus. Our doctoral graduates have research positions in a variety of settings, including faculty appointments in colleges and universities throughout the US. Our Masters program was among the first in the nation and our alumni are preceptors for current students completing internships and other applied experiences. At the undergraduate level we offer the BA in Gerontology and the BS in Long Term Care Administration.
