ماذا سوف أتعلم؟

In response to the critical need for a competent workforce for the aging population, Texas State created the Master of Science (M.S.) program in dementia and aging studies. The curriculum emphasizes knowledge of dementia, aging and the person-centred model of care in long-term care, research or an advanced practitioner plans of study.

Course Work

The dementia and aging studies graduate program offers three concentrations that emphasize different course work and provide distinct career outcomes.

The dementia and long-term care concentration combines long-term care and sociology courses to provide a social model of care approach to students aiming to work in extended living environments upon graduation.

The practitioner concentration offers a wider variety of elective courses related to dementia and aging issues for students interested in dementia-related careers, like health educators or patient advocates.

The research concentration focuses on advanced research knowledge to accompany the cutting-edge information offered in the core dementia and aging courses, preparing students for doctoral programs.

Career Options

Graduates will make an immediate impact in their profession or be able to pursue further graduate studies leading toward research-related careers. Most will pursue advanced management and leadership opportunities in professional settings related to long-term care, hospices and hospitals, while others will develop new approaches to dealing with persons with dementia and dementia-like disorders.
