Rehabilitation Services
Overview
Rehabilitation Services is a very professionally oriented major. If you decide to major in it, you'll become a human services professional who vocationally rehabilitates adults with developmental and physical disabilities.While Rehabilitation Services has traditionally focused on restoring the well being of individuals who have physical disabilities, the field is growing to encompass a wider array of disabilities. Emotional disabilities, mental retardation, substance abuse, and continued patterns of criminal behavior are a few of the newer branches of Rehabilitation Services.
Entry-level Rehabilitation Services majors can pursue careers in a variety of private and government-subsidized human service agencies. Many students who major in Rehabilitation Services eventually seek master and doctoral degrees.
