The Master of Science in Disability Studies at the University of Manitoba applies the same social-model focus as the program's M.A. stream, examining the policies and practices that shape the disability experience across societies rather than its physical or psychological dimensions. It is intended for students with an undergraduate degree in Science who want to pursue advanced interdisciplinary research on disability, drawing on backgrounds from fields such as architecture, arts, education, engineering, law, medicine, nursing, and social work. All students complete 18 credit hours of coursework followed by a thesis, administered through the Faculty of Graduate Studies. Full-time students typically finish in two years. The program develops skills in disability theory, policy analysis, and interdisciplinary research methods, preparing graduates for work in health, education, advocacy, and social service settings connected to disability.
