Earn Your Bachelor’s in Gerontology – 100% Online

Since 1972, the University of Nebraska Omaha's Department of Gerontology has been at the forefront of educating students about the multifaceted process of aging. Now, this rich educational experience is accessible to everyone through our online program.

Gerontology is the comprehensive study of the physical, psychological, and social aspects of aging. Our multidisciplinary approach equips students and faculty to address the challenges and opportunities presented by our world's rapidly growing aging population, including topics like independence, health changes, and end-of-life planning.

At UNO, our Gerontology program offers real-world experience, allowing students to work directly with aging adults and their families. Many courses include service-learning opportunities that extend learning beyond the classroom, providing hands-on engagement in the field.
