The University of Southern California Leonard Davis School of Gerontology is actively seeking the finest candidates for our doctoral and master’s programs. We offer the most comprehensive interdisciplinary graduate programs in aging in the nation, and our students learn alongside internationally recognized leaders in the field.


We know that at Massachusetts Institute of Technology you work with students interested in the field of biology. We ask you to inform us of students who might want to take advantage of the funding, resources and curriculum that a graduate experience in aging at the USC Leonard Davis School can provide.


Our students have the opportunity to pursue two world-renowned Ph.D. programs, one of which is a Ph.D. in Biology of Aging. The focus of the Ph.D. in Biology of Aging is on molecular, cellular, and regenerative medicine as well as the integrative biology of aging. We also have five master’s degree programs (each available online), and eight dual-degree programs available in law, business, social work, pharmacy, dentistry, urban planning and public administration.


Top-tier, hands-on research opportunities supplement students’ coursework, with a variety of fields to choose from, including disease prevention, life extension, policy planning and social reform.  For example, USC was recently awarded a new National Institute on Aging program grant for researchers focused on air pollution and Alzheimer’s disease. The five-year grant will examine how urban air pollution contributes to accelerated brain aging and dementia risk.


The USC Leonard Davis School provides a rich tapestry of educational experiences and opportunities that will position graduates to work with—and become—leaders in the field of aging. We ask you to share our message with students who wish to reach their full potential in the vibrant and exciting field of biogerontology.


I am including the link to our Viewbook here for you to distribute to any interested students, but if you would like, I can mail you hard copies as well.  If you or your students have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me about the USC Leonard Davis School, our programs, or the application process.


Sincerely,
