COR 255 2 - Disability: Rights & Citizenship

Minimum Credit(s) Awarded: 3
Maximum Credit(s) Awarded: 3

This course will give students the ability to be a part of the only program in Wisconsin serving adults with more severe disabilities in higher education. While they learn more about disability in our society and the barriers this population confronts in our community, they will be serving to help them overcome these same barriers. Through a unique collaborative relationship with individuals with severe disabilities, students will be involved in a totally integrated, service learning project of their choosing on and off the Edgewood college campus. Undergraduate students will be paired with Cutting Edge students with like interests and together they will explore becoming engaged citizens. Both will learn and grow while reflecting on the nature of volunteerism and the as powerful change and growth experience in their lives. This class has expectations for outside of class community engagement.

Prerequisite(s): Completion of COR 1 or COR 199 or COR 199 in progress; two full-time semesters of college credit, excluding retro credits, AP credits, and college credit earned while in high school.
