The Advanced Certificate in Disability Services in Higher Education, a fully online program, equips disability service office workers with the skills and knowledge to effectively champion college students with disabilities. This 12-credit program targets two groups: those who already have a master’s degree but want more information about specific topics in disability services, and those with a bachelor’s degree who are not ready to engage in a master’s program.

All credits earned while enrolled in the advanced certificate can be applied to the MS in Disability Services in Higher Education online degree program. (With a grade of B or better from these classes.)

Students of this program are taught by disability advocates and nationally recognized practitioners who have expertise in the following areas:

The major theories and models used to frame disability
Best practices in providing disability services in a college or other public setting
Assisting college administration and relevant departments in developing policies and guidelines regarding provision of services to students with disabilities
Arranging support and access in the classroom and non-classroom activities and college settings, including public college events
