This major provides course work which prepares rehabilitation and human service professionals to work with individuals with disabilities across the life span. The program is one of several offered within the Department of Social Work at the University of North Dakota. A Minor in Rehabilitation and Human Services is also available and has been updated.
With the growing number of people with disabilities actively participating in community life, the demand for well-trained rehabilitation professionals is high. The RHS major and minor are intended to help supply workers for a well-documented personnel shortage.
In addition to the core RHS curriculum, students pursuing the major will also be able to obtain a concentration in one of the following areas: Substance Abuse, Mental Health, Gerontology, or Developmental Disabilities.
Departmental faculty which will be teaching courses for the new major include Dr. David Perry (coordinator) and Dr. Eva Houston.
Students interested in learning more about this area of study are encouraged to contact Dr. Perry at 777-3757 or davidperry@mail.und.nodak.edu. |
