The Center on Aging and the Minnesota Area Geriatric Education Center (MAGEC) sponsor and cosponsor numerous educational events that are designed to meet the criteria necessary to receive continuing education credits for a variety of disciplines. A number of these opportunities fall under the auspice of the Minnesota Area Geriatric Education Center, and include educational and clinical fellowships, applied research seminars,  a distinguished lecture series and Quarterly Geriatric Conferences.

The Center on Aging is also home to the Graduate Minor in Gerontology at the University of Minnesota.  The Gerontology minor is available to master's (MA and MS) and doctoral students. The minor provides a multidisciplinary foundation in gerontology for master's minors and a more intensive preparation in aging for PhD level minors.

The Gerontology Students, who have minored in gerontology, have majored in many departments including but not limited to: Curriculum and Instruction (adult education); Communication Disorders; Dentistry; Design, Housing and Apparel; Family Medicine and Community Health; Family Social Science; Journalism and Mass Communication; Kinesiology; Nursing; Psychology; Social Work and Sociology. The program of courses is tailored in advance consultation between the student and the director of graduate studies of the gerontology minor.

In addition to the links on the left, there are several other educational opportunities that are listed under the MAGEC link above, including a Distinguished lecture series, MAGEC Summer Institute, and Educational and Clinical fellowships.
