Program details
Overview
Disability Studies is an interdisciplinary program offered jointly with RRC Polytech that examines disability as a social, scientific, cultural, historical, and political construction. Using a social-model lens, coursework addresses topics including human rights, ethics, adaptive physical activity, eugenics, socialization, aging, education, and universal design, moving from a critique of the bio-medical model toward social and rights-based understandings of disability. Students must be accepted, enrol, and study at both institutions, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree, offered in three-year, four-year, or Honours format, from The University of Winnipeg together with a Disability and Community Support Diploma from RRC Polytech. Students pursuing another major may also add Disability Studies as a Minor. Graduates work in fields such as teaching, research, government policy analysis, the non-profit and health-care sectors, and tourism.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Applicants must meet The University of Winnipeg's general undergraduate admission requirements; no specific high-school courses are required. Because the program is delivered jointly with RRC Polytech, students must be accepted, enrol, and study at both institutions to earn the degree and diploma. Applicants whose first language is not English, and who are not from an English-exempt country, must meet the university's general English-language proficiency requirement.
