Doctoral Programs in Gerontology: Where They Are and What They Produce.

Turner, K. Whisnant

Educational Gerontology, v28 n2 p163-67 Feb 2002

A survey of six universities offering doctoral programs in gerontology identified enrollments, costs, graduates' employment, and faculty characteristics. Not all offer a mix of specialties; none requires internships. Respondents agreed on the need for additional doctoral program development, but funding and faculty availability limit growth. (SK)
