Great question!

I'm looking for a university with an online PhD from Portfolio in North
America but I think they are all in Europe or the UK? Is there a one stop
website with information on post graduate studies like this? If not, maybe
one would be helpful?

I am looking at opportunities in Europe and the UK for an online PhD from
Portfolio. Do they exist anywhere else in the world?

Cheers, Karen

Subject: [WebAIM] Advanced Degrees in Accessibility

Looking for information on programs for advanced degrees (post-bac
Certificate, Master's, or PhD) in accessibility - whether it's ICT-related
or the built environment. The Univ. of Salford (UK) used to have one but it
doesn't seem. A university in Barcelona seems to have one (in Spanish,

ity-design-all-online/presentation)

I'm open to either online programs or in-person (though I'm not sure if any
of my second languages are strong enough to study in a non-English
university setting).

Thanks!

What if the first question we asked was, "what is so unique about this
situation that it justifies exclusion? instead of, "how much does it cost to
make it accessible?
