Minnesota has a number of excellent long term care education programs for students interested in pursuing a career in this field, with schools that focus on both the administrative and clinical areas of long term care.

Minnesota's educational requirements for those interested in becoming licensed to work in nursing homes include having a bachelor’s degree that included completing courses in: organizational management; introductory accounting and managerial accounting; health care services accounting; gerontology; long term care programs and services; human resource management; medical terminology; health-care and medical needs; health care law; information uses; and regulatory management. A practicum under the supervision of a licensed nursing home administrator is also required.

For those who want to increase their general knowledge in the area of long term care, there are a variety of courses offered by schools in Minnesota that combine on-campus seminars and distance learning options. Some classes cover an overview of organizational management and human resource management in the long term care setting. Another class focuses on the needs of the elderly and suggested programs in nursing facilities, dealing with key aspects of adult development and human aging (e.g., biology, psychology, and sociology of aging). The differentiation between the aging process and the disease process, as well as common conditions and diseases associated with aging is another class option.
