The Graduate Interdisciplinary Specialization in Aging is available to all graduate and professional students at The Ohio State University. Students must apply to enroll in the Specialization in Aging (see application form on this site), must follow the criteria developed by the Graduate School, and successfully complete the required and elective course work specified.

Students should work with their departmental Advisor to determine how best to incorporate the Specialization into their program of study.  The Advisor's signature is required prior to submission of the application to the Office of Geriatrics and Gerontology, which coordinates the administrative aspects of the Specialization.

At least 21 hours of graduate course work from the Master List of Courses are required. 

Once Student and Advisor signatures are affixed, the original form should be forwarded to the Office of Geriatrics and Gerontology at the address below.  The student will be advised as soon as approval of the application has been accomplished.

The student must adhere to the curriculum for the Specialization in Aging.  If changes in the approved curriculum are made, the student must complete a new Graduate Interdisciplinary Specialization Program Form and once again gain approval.
