Minor in Disability Studies (304)

Disability Studies 304
A minor in disability studies will significantly support your academic and career aspirations.  We are the first program of its kind at Rutgers University and one of only a few in the nation. Disability Studies is a field for and by people with disabilities.  Students in the minor understand disability and impairment as an essential component of the human experience, troubling outcome of power, an important feature of coalition, building a position shaped by ongoing intersections with age, race, gender, ethnicity, language, immigration, nationality, class, and social power. Disability is an important lens for understanding and a means to create spaces and communities that serve all people equitably, not just the disabled, deaf, neurodivergent, impaired or chronically ill. Many of our courses count toward the required General Education Curriculum. You can explore the course and career options below or contact disabilitystudies.minor@newark.rutgers.edu.
