research, and offers services that advance an
understanding of gerontology. The program offers
a masters degree, as well as undergraduate and
graduate minor degrees and seeks to attract and
educate students who will become leaders in both
academic and applied settings in order to improve
the quality of life for older individuals and
their families in Iowa, the nation, and the
