专业概况

在这里学什么？

The dual / accelerated online Bachelor of Arts (BA) to Master of Arts (MA) in aging studies is designed to prepare qualified students for graduate work in aging studies at WSU, while allowing them to earn dual credit toward their bachelor's degree. Students admitted to the accelerated program are allowed to enroll in courses for graduate credit (up to 9 credit hours) while completing their undergraduate degree requirements.

Curriculum

Students admitted to the accelerated program may enroll in courses for graduate credit (up to nine credit hours) while completing their undergraduate degree requirements for aging studies.

Curriculum covers areas of long-term care systems, multidisciplinary perspectives on aging, biology of aging, health communications with the aging population and more.

Program Guidelines

• For each of the dual credit courses, the student must meet the learning outcomes specific to graduate students to apply the course to graduate credit, earning no less than a 3.000 in each course.
• Each course taken for joint credit must be so identified at the time of enrollment in that course and a dual enrollment form must be completed which indicates the courses taken for graduate credit. Allowed dual credit hours include: AGE 717, AGE 798 and AGE 818.
• Continuation in the accelerated program also requires a continuing WSU undergraduate cumulative GPA of at least 2.750.
• A student who has previously been admitted to a graduate degree program at Wichita State may not be admitted to the dual/accelerated program.
• For the purpose of requesting exceptions to the program and university regulations, students in a dual/accelerated degree program are considered undergraduates and thus proceed through the undergraduate process until the bachelor’s degree is awarded.

Careers

With an increasingly large aging population comes the need for well-trained aging specialists in a wide variety of settings, including:

• Academia
• Aging research and policy institutes
• HMOs and hospitals
• Mental health
• Pharmaceutical companies
• Skilled nursing facilities
