Advising & Student Resources

Preparing future leaders for careers in aging.

Good results are the result of good planning. Every Gerontology student is encouraged to meet with their academic advisor.

Based on your educational needs and goals, advisors are prepared to help you lay out a course plan that will lead you to meeting those goals. At a minimum, you should meet with your advisor once each semester to review your course plan and to make any necessary changes. 

Additionally, your advisor is available to answer questions you may have about degree requirements, adding or dropping courses, transfer credits, course substitutions and more. 

Listed at left are the advisors for the Department of Gerontology and their contact information.

Gerontology Scholarships

Students are encouraged to work with UNO Financial Support & Scholarships for other scholarship opportunities. 

Out of state students are encouraged to research the Midwest Student Exchange Program (MSEP) and Metropolitan Advantage Program (MAP) for tuition discounts.
