Assistive Technology in Rehabilitation Certificate

Undergraduate Rehabilitation Science Certificates

The Undergraduate Program in Rehabilitation Science offers undergraduate certificates for students planning to continue their education in rehabilitation science programs or those seeking a concentration of courses in a particular rehabilitation science area. These certificates are designed to best prepare students for rehabilitation-related graduate programs; however, the certificates are not a requirement for application.

Completion of the Assistive Technology in Rehabilitation Certificate provides a focused area of study for students interested in careers providing technology to individuals with disabilities. It will prepare students for graduate programs such as prosthetics and orthotics or rehabilitation technology. It will also provide the course work and some of the clinical hours needed to satisfy the requirements for the RESNA (Rehabilitation Engineering and Assistive Technology Society of North America) Assistive Technology Supplier certification.
