The University of Maine Center for Community Inclusion and Disability Studies (CCIDS) is now offering a 3-course online Graduate Certificate in Interdisciplinary Disability Studies http://ccids.umaine.edu/interedu/graduate-certificate/. The certificate program is a progressive 9-credit graduate-level curriculum in which students from a variety of disciplines and professional backgrounds can study with students and professionals from other fields to acquire specialized knowledge in disability theory, policy and research.

Three online asynchronous courses examine disability theory, policy, and practices that address disability needs, rights and interventions. The program is open to students who have obtained a baccalaureate degree, including those who seek only the certificate; students who want to study in one or more of the courses without seeking the certificate; and students currently matriculated in masters and doctoral programs.
