Twenty-Five
years ago, the National Institute on Aging recognized ULM's excellence
in aging by awarding the University funds to develop the first
Center on Aging in Louisiana. Since that time, the Institute of
Gerontology has led the state in offering and developing coursework
in Gerontology. We have the distinction of being the only university
in Louisiana to offer the M.A. Degree in Gerontology, the first
to offer the Certificate in Gerontology, as well as being continuously
recognized by the Louisiana Board of Regents for Higher Education
as a "Unique Area of Excellence."
Through
our research on aging, teaching and community service the Institute
of Gerontology is the premiere social & behavioral research
and education unit for Gerontology in Louisiana. Our multidisciplinary
faculty research focuses on the social and behavioral aspects
of aging and health.
