The Davis School’s long history of leadership in gerontological education continues as we enter the 21st century as the first to offer a gerontology degree via the Internet.
All of our online courses are designed and taught by Davis School faculty members. Each week of the courses consist of a lecture written by a faculty member, interactive exercises to further enhance the student’s understanding of the subject matter, and assignments that will be sent via email to the instructor to monitor progress and integration of the subject matter.
Coursework can be accessed 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Sunday afternoons might be the best time for you, or maybe you work better at night. You may choose to read a lecture all at once or spread it over a couple of days. In the traditional classroom setting, students spend three hours per week in class and four to six additional hours completing outside assignments and readings. Students should expect to spend a similar amount of time for an online class. However, as an online student, you choose those hours.
