UMass Boston
Our doctoral program prepares students for leadership roles as educators, researchers, planners, and policy makers. The curriculum gives graduates command of a broad body of specialized knowledge in aging and social policy and prepares them to design rigorous studies to expand that knowledge. The program’s approach gives special attention to the needs of low-income older adults, as well as issues of racial and cultural diversity. Students will gain practical experience as researchers, policy analysts, and educators through service-learning experiences with faculty, research centers, and community partners.
