Interdisciplinary Aging Studies is a thesis-based Master of Arts program at Trent University, offered in person on both a full-time and part-time basis. Full-time students normally complete the program in two years; part-time completion normally takes four years. The curriculum draws on the social-cultural dimensions of aging, systems, services and policy, cultural and literary studies, performance and creative arts, and social justice, particularly equity, diversity, and inclusion, together with the biology and psychology of aging. Students develop skills in the critical analysis of contemporary aging issues and practical approaches to aging-related challenges. Graduates are prepared for academic positions or for non-academic careers in the public and nonprofit sectors, including managerial roles in organizations that support older adults. Admission normally requires a four-year Honours BA or BSc from an accredited institution and an overall average of at least B+ (77%, GPA 3.3) in the last four semesters of full-time equivalent study, together with prior supervised research or a 250-word statement demonstrating capacity for independent research; relevant volunteer or paid work experience with older adults may also be considered.

Admissions decisions depend on the availability of appropriate faculty as supervisors and committee members and the feasibility of the applicant's proposed course of study and research project.
