Elder Care Administration Concentration
The Master of Science in Management with a concentration in Elder Care Administration provides a solid and competitive foundation in business operations and prepares students for a successful career serving the elderly population in our society. Study of the many effects of aging, today’s public policies, and the various options available to older adults will increase student’s understanding of this growing population, and build awareness of the psycho-social issues that involve elder care management.
Lasell Village, a continuing care retirement community (CCRC) located on the Lasell College campus, will serve as one of two important resources to your studies. Village residents commit to a formal, individualized plan of education. This focus on lifelong learning makes Lasell Village the first of its kind among retirement communities. The RoseMary B. Fuss Center for Research and Integenerational Studies is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for older adults through research, community partnership, and teaching focused on aging, lifelong learning, and intergenerational programs.
