The 18-credit Disability Studies (652) minor examines the meaning, nature, and consequences of disability as a social, cultural, and political construct. It provides students the opportunity to challenge normative ableist paradigms that reinforce rigid ideas about the body and personhood for people with disabilities.
This minor is well-matched to majors in public health, public policy, urban planning and design, planning and public policy, kinesiology and health, labor and employment relations, visual and performing arts, health administration, sociology, psychology, and more.

- 01:377:327 Field Experience for Special Populations* (3)
