What if I haven’t taken the GRE?
That’s okay. You can get started on your advanced degree by enrolling in Gerontology 500 or one of our other Masters level courses while you prepare for the exam. You can take up to 12 units as a limited student before you are admitted into the program. |
What if I can't come to LA?
Then we'll bring the classroom to you! Our pioneering Online Masters Program allows students to interact with faculty and peers from anywhere with an internet connection. |
Isn’t it expensive?
Considering the value of a USC degree and the practicality of the field, the answer is no. However, cost is an issue for some people, so we are proud to announce that we have grant and scholarship money available for qualified applicants. Here’s the catch: you can’t qualify unless you apply, so do it today! |
