expertise of practicing gerontology professionals. Founded in 2016, AGEC has accredited or reaccredited 10 gerontology degree programs at the associate, baccalaureate and master\u2019s levels. While AGEC requires programs to infuse the gerontology competencies into the curriculum and measure their students\u2019 acquisition of them as the student learning standard, it recognizes and encourages the unique and innovative qualities of individual gerontology programs. NAPG was founded in 2005 and has credentialed over 400 members at the associate, baccalaureate and graduate levels. In a field without licensing in which individuals may claim expertise based on little legitimate gerontology education, NAPG offers through its CPGTM (Credentialed Professional Gerontologist) designation a recognized symbol of educational achievement and professional expertise. Both AGEC and NAPG are 501c3s and together represent credibility, competency, and quality assurance in the field of gerontology.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-40583f2 elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"40583f2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/geroaccred.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-external-link-alt\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M432,320H400a16,16,0,0,0-16,16V448H64V128H208a16,16,0,0,0,16-16V80a16,16,0,0,0-16-16H48A48,48,0,0,0,0,112V464a48,48,0,0,0,48,48H400a48,48,0,0,0,48-48V336A16,16,0,0,0,432,320ZM488,0h-128c-21.37,0-32.05,25.91-17,41l35.73,35.73L135,320.37a24,24,0,0,0,0,34L157.67,377a24,24,0,0,0,34,0L435.28,133.32,471,169c15,15,41,4.5,41-17V24A24,24,0,0,0,488,0Z\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Visit The AGEC Website<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d6d9519 elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"d6d9519\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/www.napgerontologists.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-external-link-alt\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M432,320H400a16,16,0,0,0-16,16V448H64V128H208a16,16,0,0,0,16-16V80a16,16,0,0,0-16-16H48A48,48,0,0,0,0,112V464a48,48,0,0,0,48,48H400a48,48,0,0,0,48-48V336A16,16,0,0,0,432,320ZM488,0h-128c-21.37,0-32.05,25.91-17,41l35.73,35.73L135,320.37a24,24,0,0,0,0,34L157.67,377a24,24,0,0,0,34,0L435.28,133.32,471,169c15,15,41,4.5,41-17V24A24,24,0,0,0,488,0Z\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Visit The NAGP Website<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-36543d7 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"36543d7\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-19f7d74 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"19f7d74\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Bronze Sponsor<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-25370ac elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"25370ac\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"83\" src=\"https:\/\/southerngerontologicalsociety.org\/sgs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2026-usc-leonard-davis.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-2061\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/southerngerontologicalsociety.org\/sgs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2026-usc-leonard-davis.jpg 400w, https:\/\/southerngerontologicalsociety.org\/sgs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2026-usc-leonard-davis-300x62.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-63b4f03 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"63b4f03\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Rooted in a world-class research university and located in one of the most vibrant cities on earth, the USC Leonard Davis School is a global pioneer in gerontology education, research, policy and service. Founded in 1975, we are the world\u2019s first, largest and most renowned educational institution on aging.
