Minor Requirements
Six courses are required to complete the minor in Disability Studies:
- DBST 2270 (or ENGL 2700) Introduction to Disability Studies
- Three Disability Studies core courses
- Two elective courses that engage disability in theory or practice
Disability Studies core courses center discipline-specific disability studies theories and/or methodologies along with a focus on disability experience, history, and/or culture. Elective courses have a substantial focus on disability experience, history, and/or culture and enable students to do individual work employing disability studies theory and/or methodology.
For a list of core courses and approved electives, please visit the program website at https://disabilitystudies.georgetown.edu/programs/courses/.
A maximum of two courses taken elsewhere (i.e., study abroad or summer courses) may be counted as electives in the minor, with approval of the steering committee.
To declare the minor, students should complete the interest form available on our website, disabilitystudies.georgetown.edu. Please direct questions to lsr@georgetown.edu.
