The Disability Studies Diploma prepares students to support the well-being of people with disabilities and to foster inclusive communities. The 16-month program, delivered across four terms, combines classroom instruction with hands-on practical placements in education settings, non-profit agencies, and direct family support roles. Coursework covers disability theory, inclusive practice, and community support skills, building toward supervised field experience. Classes are generally scheduled Monday to Friday, and an online option is available for some courses, though not every course is offered online each term, which can extend completion beyond 16 months. Graduates receive a diploma from Bow Valley College and are prepared for support and leadership roles in disability services, education, and community agencies. Admission requires a credit in English Language Arts 30-1, a minimum of 65% in English Language Arts 30-2, or an equivalent; applicants may also qualify through GED completion with a standard score of 520 in Language Arts, or through satisfactory results on the college's Admission and Placement Test.
