Welcome to the Disability Studies Program at The Ohio State University!
Disability Studies at The Ohio State University examines the nature, meaning, and consequences of disability in global culture from an integrated social, political, cultural model. It incorporates historical, phenomenological, political, cultural, medical, sociological, technological, educational, and legal perspectives in order to provide an enriched and coherent view of disability as part of universal human experience, by understanding and analyzing disability as a phenomenon that simultaneously manifests itself at the bodily, person, and societal levels.
The Ohio State University has offered an undergraduate minor in Disability Studies since 2003. In 2006, OSU began offering a Graduate Interdisciplinary Specialization in Disability Studies. The interdisciplinary Disability Studies program is housed in the Colleges of the Arts and Sciences; however, it spans 12 colleges, departments, schools and centers.
