Program Faculty
The Office of Rehabilitation and Disability Studies' faculty members have diverse professional experiences and interests in rehabilitation, and each is a distinguished member of the rehabilitation counseling profession. By design, the faculty to student ratio is low. Faculty members are accessible, and there is extensive interaction between individual faculty members and students.
