What is the current state of gerontology programs in the United States at the undergraduate and graduate levels?
We are so proud of Dr. Lyn Holley for being named as the recipient of the Distinguished Faculty Award from the Academy for Gerontology in Higher Education! Dr. Holley's award presentation will take place at GSA’s 2024 Annual Scientific Meeting, which will be held from November 13 to 16 in Seattle, Washington.
Dr. Julie Masters recently had the incredible opportunity to interview Julie Kaminski, the COO of Immanuel Communities, on Live and Learn. Take the time to watch this fantastic interview!

UNO is designated as an Age Friendly University!
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.
