Brad Cox, Ph.D.
Associate Professor of Higher, Adult, and Lifelong Education | Michigan State University
Founder, College Autism Network
I investigate the interplay between students’ personal characteristics, the institutions they attend, and the wider social systems that shape their educational journeys—particularly for autistic and neurodivergent college students. Through research, teaching, and the College Autism Network, I translate evidence into action for more equitable futures.
