的 Master of 科学 in Interdisciplinary Gerontology (MSIG) with a specialization in Long-Term Care (LTC) provides an interdisciplinary education in aging studies that prepares individuals to be administrators of 养老院s, 辅助生活设施, 家庭护理, hospice and other home and community-based services.

的 MSIG LTC program 在BGSU is a flexible, professional degree that can be completed on a full-time or part-time basis through online classes. It is the only National Association of Long Term Care Administrator Board (NAB) and 健康 服务 Executive (HSE) accredited graduate long-term care program in Ohio. This allows a license to have more portability between states, professions and job promotion. 学生 graduating from an HSE program are eligible to take the licensure exams for assisted living, 养老院 以及家庭和社区服务 administration. 的 MSIG LTC program includes the nationally required 1,000个小时的实习, which is the only face-to-face requirement of the program, so students are eligible to sit for licensure for federal, 俄亥俄州, and many additional states who accept reciprocity from NAB accredited programs.
