Graduate Certificate in Disability Studies

The Disability Studies Graduate Certificate Program will show you that disability is part of the tapestry of a diverse society. It emphasizes “universal access,” the philosophy that society should be inclusive of people of all diverse backgrounds and traits, and that the responsibility for diversity transcends traditional identity-based characteristics. Universal access (UA) embraces an approach that responsible societies do not just accommodate minorities, but are constructed for people of all; both majority and minority, typical and atypical.

Most EWU graduate programs only require one transcript. A degree-bearing transcript (with a bachelor’s or master’s degree) and at least two year’s worth of credits on it is required. If not, please submit transcripts with your last 2 years’ worth of credits. Go to the transcript website for the prior university where you earned your highest degree (bachelor’s or master’s). Order an electronic, official transcript (If the prior college only has mail as an option, expect them to take 4-6 weeks for them to arrive.) Have it sent to Eastern Washington University
