There’s no one way to be deaf, and there’s no standard background for Gallaudet students.
We have team captains from Alabama, valedictorians from California, and CODAs from Michigan. We have third-generation legacy students from deaf families and emerging signers who were the only deaf student in their entire hometown.
Students at Gallaudet gain access to world-class bachelor’s programs that span every industry and interest.
The best part? Our 500+ deaf and hard of hearing faculty and staff members remove all communication barriers – so you can focus on what’s important: acquiring the skills you need to excel after graduation.
Gallaudet students can become involved in one (or two or five!) student organizations on day one.
Whether you’re into sustainability or student government – Black Student Union or Bison with Attitude – we’re confident you’ll find your fit.
Leah Katz-Hernandez (GU ’10) is currently serving on President Biden’s Advisory Commission on Advancing Educational Equity, Excellence, and Economic Opportunity for Hispanics.
Across Capitol Hill, dozens of other Gallaudet alumni are impacting policy changes to advance our deaf community from Congressional offices and thinktanks throughout D.C.
You already know D.C. is action packed. But did you know it’s also one of the world’s most deaf friendly cities?
Imagine owning a key that unlocks every door to the deaf community – an all-access pass to deaf leaders in business, technology, education, and public policy.
That’s a Gallaudet University diploma.
