Online PhD in Leadership, Specialization in Gerontology

The PhD in Leadership with a specialization in Gerontology provides a multidisciplinary framework from which to respond to existing age-related questions, and intensive, in-depth training for those who want unique preparation for leadership roles for addressing issues related to aging. The doctoral candidate’s knowledge base of research methods and theoretical perspectives encompasses various social and basic science disciplines rather than relying on a single disciplinary approach to aging and leadership.

Marcus Wolfe, Sr.

PhD, Leadership, Gerontology

“When I started the program, I thought I had an idea of what gerontology was about. After taking classes and interacting with my instructors and classmates, I learned that there was a great deal more to know about the field. I have been working and interacting with various colleagues at other universities and I am confident when I speak to them and have been able to inform them with regards to theories, practices and policies, thanks to Concordia University Chicago.”
