UToledo's disability studies program is helping students and the community understand the full spectrum of human diversity. As the first major of its kind in the U.S., the bachelor of arts degree program in disability studies is truly interdisciplinary and centered in the liberal arts and social sciences, while drawing on insights from across the campus. We also offer a minor and graduate certificate in disability studies.

Strong Community Partnerships

The UToledo Disability Studies department partners with organizations like the Ability Center, which "advocates, educates, partners, and provides services supporting people with disabilities to thrive within their community." More than half of its employees and board of trustees members are individuals living with disabilities.
