About Blindness and Low Vision Studies

Programs in Blindness and Low Vision Studies (BLVS) were first developed at Salus University in 1983, making Salus University the first institution in the country to offer four master’s degrees and certificates in Low Vision Rehabilitation, Orientation and Mobility, Vision Rehabilitation Therapy and Teacher of Students with Visual Impairments. Since that time, BLVS programs have continue to evolve, offering graduate master’s and certificate programs, as well as professional development geared to practitioners. It was the first department at Salus University to offer hybrid graduate degrees and the first one to develop micro-credentials.

BLVS is characterized by a spirit of innovation and a strong commitment to accessibility and diversity.
