Through the Information Accessibility Design and Policy (IADP) certificate program, website developers, information specialists, and disability service providers learn the principles of accessible information architecture and the information technology (IT) of universal design used in education, healthcare, and employment settings. Students will also learn the federal and state legal mandates governing information accessibility and the relationship of those mandates to the civil rights of people with disabilities, as well as technology accessibility standards, design techniques that enable adherence to those standards, and tools that support validation and evidence of compliance to those standards. The certificate program can be completed in one academic year.
