Leading Provider of Gerontology Education in Nebraska
Since 1972, the Department of Gerontology at the University of Nebraska Omaha (UNO) has been educating students about aging. Students and faculty use a multidisciplinary approach to discover the many issues and opportunities facing our world’s rapidly increasing aging population, including independence, health changes, and end-of-life planning.
The Department of Gerontology is a proven, valuable campus resource and the primary provider of gerontology education in the university system.
Programming is available in Omaha, Lincoln, and Online. Education paths include a certificate or minor, or a B.S., M.A., or Ph.D. in Gerontology.
Pioneers in the Field of Gerontology
The department conducts relevant research in conjunction with local and federal agencies that serve the public and its changing needs.
Practical Learning
Completing a practicum enables our students to gain real-life experience working with aging adults and their families. Several of our courses offer service-learning opportunities that extend the study of gerontology beyond the classroom.
