IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR OUT-OF-STATE APPLICANTS :

Every state government regulates whether universities located in other states can enroll students in online programs. This process is called “state authorization.” Some states do not allow their students to enroll students in online programs at outside universities at all; other states charge the outside universities high fees to enroll even one student from that state. For this reason, Thomas University may not be able to enroll students from outside Georgia in every online program we offer. We accept students from as many states as possible. Please contact Admissions at admissions@thomasu.edu or 800.538.9784 ext 1114 to find out if your state is authorized for Thomas University.

This undergraduate degree in Rehabilitation Studies is fully online with an internship requirement, and will also further prepare you for your future career in Rehabilitation Studies. Graduates with a Bachelor’s degree in Rehabilitation Studies are in high demand. In the rehabilitation field, the DOT and the O*NET are the standard used to project future employment. These sources indicate the employment needs for the next eight years for entry-level rehabilitation technicians nationwide have an average growth rate of 20 – 28% with projected job openings nationally of 189,100.

Options for a Concentration of Study:

School to Work Transitions – This concentration prepares graduates to help people access the workforce once the person with a disability leaves their school setting. Persons completing this concentration will be able to work in a variety of settings and in jobs such as case managers, case coordinators, job coaches, and/or direct care.

Addictions – This concentration prepares graduates to work with people who are struggling with alcohol and drug abuse. Students completing this concentration can take the state examination for an Associate Licensed Substance Abuse Counselor after graduation.

Gerontology – This concentration prepares graduates to work in agencies that have focused on people who are in their older adult years. It is estimated that by 2025, one-fourth of the population in the U.S. and Canada will be over 65 years old. Graduates will understand the issues related to the changing roles and responsibilities of older adults and have increased skills to work with the elderly population. Students will be able to earn a certificate in Gerontology.
