Micro-Minor in Disability Studies

The interdisciplinary micro-minor in disability studies bridges humanities and social sciences. The program provides in-depth understandings of the social, historical, cultural, and material predicaments imposed on disabled people. Rather than approaching disability as a pathology, it explores disability as a product of social inequity and as an alternative ethical map for living.

This Bulletin covers the degree requirements for students matriculating in the current academic year. Students who matriculated before the current year can find their requirements in the relevant archived Bulletin.

The following requirements must be fulfilled: 9 credits, including one 3-credit required course and 6 credits in selected courses.
