Program Description:

The Master of Arts in Disability Studies at California Baptist University is a distance learning degree program designed to develop expertise in human differences. Beyond preparing professionals to lead, establish and shape disability programs, ministries and policies, the Disability Studies program prepares graduates to challenge and change the way society and organizations relate to people with disabilities.

Students have the opportunity to pursue a concentration in two distinct areas of the field:

The Disability Policy Concentration is designed for professionals interested in shaping policies that impact persons with disabilities. Specialized coursework prepares students to take a proactive role in defining and enacting policies at the government, corporate, or organizational level that reflect and recognize the needs and value of people with disabilities. As policy shapers and makers, graduates are ideally positioned to become agents of positive change within their organization and beyond.

The Disability Ministry Concentration recognizes and responds to the growing presence of people with disabilities within the church. Students in this concentration complete specialized coursework that prepares them to establish, build and lead disability ministries within a congregational setting. Graduates will be agents for change within the Christian church around the world.
