Why Choose Rehabilitation Services?
Looking for a minor? Adding a minor in rehabilitation services can exponentially assist you in preparing for and finding employment after graduation.
Your coursework is relevant to working with all types of people in various capacities and includes case management, finding employment, and building active listening/communication skills. If your primary interest is social work, psychology, sociology, education, organizational leadership, nursing, criminology, business, or creative arts, you will obtain valuable information on how to work effectively with the public—specifically people with disabilities and other life-altering experiences (serving time in prison, domestic violence, homelessness, etc.).
In addition, the 200-hour internship at the end of the minor allows you to practice your skills, build relevant work history for resumes, and network with potential employers. Please contact the director for more information on how a minor in rehabilitation services can enhance your current degree and employment opportunities.
For admission to the program, you must have completed 24 quarter/18 semester credit hours and have earned a 2.35 GPA. You must earn a minimum C grade in each rehabilitation services course requirement. You must complete a 200-clock-hour internship. Prerequisites for the internship include an overall 2.5 GPA and completion of all rehabilitation courses listed.
