The BS in Senior Living Management is an interdisciplinary program that merges hospitality, gerontology and healthcare services.

Experience and learn hospitality culture and spirits, and grow your managerial and leadership capabilities to succeed in the senior living industry as a future leader.

It is generously supported by the senior living industry with scholarships, work and networking opportunities. Plus, our central location in Orlando, Florida, places you in the hub of the senior living industry.

Composed of thousands of for-profit and not-for-profit senior living communities, the industry encompasses independent living communities, assisted living communities, continuing care retirement communities and skill nursing. The modern senior living industry is a combination of 66% hospitality services and 33% healthcare services.
