New Minor in Disability Studies

The new Disability Studies minor is designed to elevate the study of disability, difference, and human potential at the University of Maryland.  Students will examine the concept of disability historically and in contemporary society and explore the challenges and opportunities we face in making our world more accessible to individuals with disabilities. 

Through 15 credits of interdisciplinary coursework, students will study and learn about the intersection of culture, education, and technology with identity and diversity.  

The application survey will be available for a one month period from 11/11 to 12/11/2019.  The application is accessed through the Disability Studies Minor webpage:  https://education.umd.edu/academics/programs/undergraduate/disability-studies-minor
