Disability Studies Program
Overview
The Yang-Tan Institute and Cornell University offer a wide array of courses focused on all aspects of disability. They afford interested students the opportunity to examine the experience of persons with disabilities across all domains of life, but focus primarily on their human rights and inequalities. This field of study is becoming increasingly important, because one in four households in the United States are now impacted by disability.
