STUDENTS: Graduate training, University of Southern California

Dear Colleague, At the University of Southern California's Leonard Davis School of Gerontology, we're actively seeking candidates for our doctoral and master's programs. As a distinguished scholar, we know that your work exposes you to students of exceptional academic ability. We encourage you to inform us about students who might want to take advantage of the funding, resources and curriculum that a graduate experience in aging can provide. The USC Davis School offers the most comprehensive interdisciplinary graduate programs in aging in the nation. Our graduate students work alongside internationally recognized leaders in the field of gerontology. The Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) program offers outstanding opportunities to participate in National Institute of Aging (NIA) funded traineeships and other federal, state and privately funded research. Recipients can obtain degrees in gerontology, sociology, psychology, biology, and preventive medicine. The USC Davis School also offers David A. Peterson Fellowships, which fully support qualified applicants during their course of study. These awards consist of fellowship stipends, tuition reimbursement, health insurance and travel allowance. The Master of Science in Gerontology (M.S.G.) program prepares graduates to assume professional leadership positions in the public and private sectors, where they will hold future positions such as health care executives, corporate analysts and government affairs specialists. David A. Peterson Fellowships are also available for students in the M.S.G. program. A graduate degree from USC's Leonard Davis School will allow the next generation of gerontologists the opportunity to meet their myriad career goals.
