CAREERS AFTER BACHELOR DEGREE

While “rehabilitation” is a term used in many fields, for us it primarily means the vocational rehabilitation of individuals who have disabilities and need assistance as they pursue their vocational goals. While our historical and legislative roots are firmly embedded in vocational rehabilitation, the field has greatly expanded. Graduates may go on to provide a variety of services to people with disabilities, including, but not limited to, vocational services. This four year course of study prepares students to become rehabilitation professionals, (e.g., case managers, and to successfully assume the role of care professionals in hospitals, mental health centers, developmental disability centers, residential chemical dependency treatment centers, etc.)

Those students interested in pursuing careers in the behavioral science orientation of rehabilitation, e.g. psychology, counseling, or vocational employment should follow he course sequence. Those students interested in pursuing careers in Physician Assistance, Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy should follow the course tracks for the Rehabilitation Services major.
