Since 1972, the Department of Gerontology at the University of Nebraska Omaha (UNO) has been educating students about aging. Students and faculty use a multidisciplinary approach to discover the many issues and opportunities facing our world’s rapidly increasing aging population, including independence, health changes, and end-of-life planning. Our society is daring to pull back the curtain and shine a light on this final phase of life. Call it compassion. Call it sensitivity. Or just call it Gerontology. It’s more than just studying a phase of life. It’s a way of life. Programming is available in Omaha, Lincoln, and Online. Education paths include a certificate or minor, or a BS, MA, or PhD in Gerontology. If you have the courage to care, we have on campus and online options to help you develop as a professional to work in this field of the future.
