Description
Saving a small master's program in the study of aging is the story told by Tina Newsham and Elizabeth Fugate-Whitlock in 2023. Their university in North Carolina had just gained a higher research rank and backed age-friendly goals. Still, the aging program sat on a low-output list and faced closure, as many such programs have.
The fix was a combined path that lets strong undergraduates take graduate classes early. Students test their interest, meet both sets of degree needs at once, and can finish the master's in one more year. The path brought a steady flow of new students. The authors offer the model to other schools with small programs at risk.
