Master of Arts in Aging Studies

The Master’s degree in Aging Studies is the only aging studies graduate program in the prairie provinces. This thesis-based program focuses on the study of psychosocial and biological aspects of aging as well as research methods and training for students from diverse academic backgrounds, including health professionals and others who want to pursue doctoral studies and research careers. Students can work towards a Master of Arts or a Master of Science, depending on the nature of their thesis research.

A 4-year undergraduate degree in kinesiology, psychology, social work, nursing, biology; or a health professional degree. Some courses (e.g. AGIN 890) have undergraduate prerequisites. Students who have not completed these prerequisites or equivalent can still be admitted to the program with the understanding that they will be expected to complete these undergraduate prerequisites prior to being able to complete the corresponding gerontology program courses.
