For a list of the schools that offer programs in aging, consult the National Directory of Educational Programs in Gerontology and Geriatrics (published by the Association for Gerontology in Higher Education) or, for a modest charge, have a computerized search done for you by AGHE using the National Database on Gerontology in Higher Education. Both resources describe programs and list whom to contact for more information. Forms can be requested from the AGHE office.

There is no accreditation of educational programs in the field of aging. Many programs, however, follow the "standards and guidelines" developed by AGHE.

After you have selected several schools that interest you, contact the faculty members who direct these educational programs in aging. Ask them what their graduates are doing. If they have found jobs in settings that interest you, consider the program as a good option for yourself.
