Disability Studies Certificate

This 18-credit, interdisciplinary undergraduate certificate is offered in partnership with the Writing Institute, housed in the College of General Studies, and open to all Pitt students.

The certificate is a good fit for students who identify as disabled and want to engage with the idea of disability; those who interact with individuals with disabilities in the course of their daily work (therapists, teachers, health providers, care givers, technologists, legal counselors); those who wish to more accurately and fully represent the experiences and perspectives of people with disabilities; and those who work in any setting and who recognize that disability is a form of diversity and want to be better, more informed allies.
