UD Disabilities Studies Minor

2013

The College of Human Services, Education, and Public Policy offers a minor in Disabilities Studies, with courses taught by faculty from across the university. The minor in Disabilities Studies provides a unique interdisciplinary opportunity for undergraduate students to learn about the policies, services, and systems that support the full participation of people with disabilities in all aspects of community life. The approach of the minor is that disability is a natural part of the human condition. Students from a variety of majors benefit from a greater understanding of disabilities professionally and personally. Students in the minor have access to a variety of disability resources, academic and service projects, and regular faculty advisement. Students may count relevant independent studies and undergraduate research toward minor electives. The minor includes a capstone senior seminar that engages students in hands-on experience and applications to real-life situations.
