    Gerontology cuts a wonderfully interesting, and widely applicable, interdisciplinary swath across human biology, health science, health services, human services, psychology, sociology, anthropology, political science, and more.

    Online or hybrid master's degrees in gerontology are fairly common, but such a doctoral degree isn't. I thought I might share note of this one, a new launch circa this year:

    TEKMAN Semper Fi!

    Is Concordia University a system or individual institution?

    Both. The ten member schools of the Concordia University System each have separate accreditation, endowment, governance, faculty, admissions, etc., but share some resources. All CUS members are affiliated with the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod. Then, there are some schools named "Concordia" that are affiliated with LCMS but not in the CUS system, and other schools named Concordia neither affiliated with the LCMS nor in the system, including Concordia University in Montreal.
