There is minimal research regarding deaf student-athletes who play sports for the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). Thus, little is known about the experiences of deaf student-athletes.
This qualitative case study seeks to explore the experiences of a select group of deaf student-athletes who attend Gallaudet University, the world’s only university designed specifically for deaf and hard of hearing people.
This study’s potential findings will contribute to the limited literature and provide stakeholders with a better understanding of NCAA student-athletes’ specific population.
Learn about Gallaudet’s admissions requirements, steps to apply, application deadlines and more at our Undergraduate Admissions page.
Accessibility is core to everything we do at Gallaudet. You see it in the quality of our interpreters and the design of our campus buildings. That philosophy extends to our costs and aid. We’re committed to ensuring students from all financial backgrounds are able to obtain a world-class education.
