Rehabilitation, Minor

The field of rehabilitation is dedicated to assisting individuals, primarily adults, with disabilities to live full and independent lives. With this minor degree option, non-Rehabilitative Services majors will be exposed to the field of disabilities and be prepared for entry-level human services careers. Students will be provided a broad overview of the field by completing four required introductory courses as well as two other upper division courses.
