About
The Disability Studies Graduate Certificate Program will show you that disability is part of the tapestry of a diverse society. It emphasizes “universal access,” the philosophy that society should be inclusive of people of all diverse backgrounds and traits, and that the responsibility for diversity transcends traditional identity-based characteristics. Universal access (UA) embraces an approach that responsible societies do not just accommodate minorities, but are constructed for people of all; both majority and minority, typical and atypical.
There are four options for the graduate certificate: standard, critical, applied, and critical and applied. For more information about each, see the Curriculum & Requirements section below.
