Lead the Change with Disability Studies
Disability Studies is committed to centering disability as a recognized cultural identity and way of living in the world. The minor consists of 3 core courses and 3 electives, pulled from across the University. The large selection of GE courses in the minor allows students to develop their own unique professional interests.
The concept of disability has legal, educational, medical, political, and social implications. We use an interdisciplinary approach to explore the lived experience of disability and prepare students to understand the nature of disabilities, the meaning of disability in our society, the social, political, and health implications of disability, as well as the methods of making our society more inclusive to those with disabilities. Disability Studies is the place where identity, activism, and scholarship intersect. We help make the future inclusive and accessible.
