Overview

Our Deaf Studies program allows students to be at the forefront of research and exploration for the deaf and hard of hearing community.

Students will build a foundation in the historical, sociological, and cultural aspects of the deaf community to prepare for careers in deaf education, linguistics, interpretation, sociology, or social work.
