The disability studies emphasis teaches students how to understand diverse needs and about educational strategies for individuals with disabilities.
Beyond that, you’ll learn how to serve as an advocate for students with disabilities and create more inclusive classrooms. You’ll graduate knowing how to build supportive learning plans based on individual needs and work toward those goals, along with how best to form partnerships through hands-on learning opportunities.
Whether you’ve got your eye on advanced studies, advocacy, policy development, or support roles in schools or community organizations, you’ll be well-prepared to promote equity, inclusion, and positive outcomes for individuals with disabilities.
