Our Rehabilitation & Disability Studies program prepares you to work in a variety of human service settings to provide support services to individuals with disabilities. Students can use the undergraduate degree as a launching point towards a graduate study in related professional fields.

As a student, you examine the experience of the individual with a disability in the context of their environment and life. You will learn how to become a rehabilitation professional who works with the individual and their disability in order to identify and achieve their personal goals.

Designed for students who seek to work in a variety of careers serving others - people with disabilities and/or individual with substance use disorders - our program also prepares you to pursue graduate work in mental health counseling, rehabilitation counseling, and addiction counseling.

A minor in Rehabilitation & Disability Studies requires each student to complete a total of 17 credit hours in rehabilitation courses. A student minoring in RDS will not participate in the field site experience or do an independent study.
