Master of Science in Assistive Technology Studies and Human Services

With more than 4,000 developing technologies that enable persons with disabilities to live more productive, independent and fulfilling lives, this academic discipline has emerged to provide human services professionals with a variety of skills and theoretical knowledge to ensure that assistive technology (AT) users are able to access and benefit fully from advances in the field.

Physical disabilities affect every sector of the population school-age children, young adults, seniors, veterans and more. In addition, because lifespans are lengthening, and disability often accompanies increasing age, the U.S. Department of Labor predicts substantial long-term growth in all health-service sectors, including the areas of assistive, adaptive and access technologies.

By earning this degree, you can begin a career focused on helping assistive technology users; ensuring compliance with regulations, such as ADA; and creating a more equitable environment for all.
