DISABILITY STUDIESAdministered by the School of Disability Studies
DEGREE: Offered on a part-time basis only. Please refer to the 2004-2005 Part-Time Undergraduate calendar.
This degree completion program, the equivalent of approximately two years of full time study, offers part-time university education to adults with a college diploma in the disability field, or other related post-secondary academic credentials, and work experience who are currently providing disability-related supports, services, education or advocacy. The program is designed to build on the direct practice skills that students have acquired through their prior education and experience and to prepare them for leadership roles in a variety of areas including direct care, management, community development, policy, planning and advocacy. The curriculum is designed to create an increased awareness of the socio-political context of disability and to enable students to apply this perspective to the development of a wide range of skills in the areas noted above.
In order to promote access for people across Ontario (and perhaps elsewhere), all required courses will be available as either an intensive on-site course or through distance education.
Some of these courses will also be available in traditional once a week formats at Ryerson. Students registering for this degree program must be prepared to take up to three courses in the intensive format, each course typically extending over a two week period. Students will be able to take elective courses at Ryerson or, with a Letter of Permission, at other universities.
