| Annotation | The University of California - Los Angeles (UCLA) General Education "Clusters" are innovations in student-centred undergraduate education focused on complex phenomena that require an interdisciplinary perspective. UCLA gerontology and geriatric faculty recognised the opportunity to introduce new students to the field of ageing through this new initiative. In 2000, the School of Medicine Multicampus Program in Geriatric Medicine and Gerontology created "Frontiers in Human Aging: Biomedical, Social and Policy Perspectives", with support from the College of Letters and Science. The active and co-operative student-centred teaching of ageing that is integral to this course has contributed successfully to the development of intellectual skills needed for academic and life success for more than 1200 new students.
