Diverse Student Body

We all share responsibility for equity and diversity. Far from just enriching campus life or the academic experience, equity and diversity are critical issues and fundamental to everything we do at the University of Minnesota and within the Division of Rehabilitation Science. In addition to a commitment to diversity, Rehabilitation Science welcomes students from around the globe, from as far as Bangladesh, Brazil, China, India, Jordan, Taiwan and Thailand. Others have studied in Canada and South Africa. On the home front, students come from all regions of the United States, including locally.
