The Center on Aging and the Minnesota Area Geriatric Education Center (MAGEC) sponsor and cosponsor numerous educational events, many of which are designed to meet the criteria necessary to receive continuing education credits for a variety of disciplines. These opportunities include educational and clinical fellowships, applied research seminars, and the Distinguished Lecture Series.

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 minor has been pursued by students across the University majoring in such diverse fields as curriculum and instruction, 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, among others. The DGS will work with each student to tailor the program of courses for 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 the Distinguished Lecture Series, the Summer Institute, and educational and clinical fellowships.
