  • Deaf Led. Deafspace Designed.

Gallaudet University is the only college in the world designed with deaf and hard of hearing students in mind. Here, students enjoy:

  • U-Shaped Class & Lounge Seating
  • 100% interpreter availability
  • Visual emergency systems
  • Conversation-friendly ramps instead of stairs
  • Translucent windows and doors
  • Notetaking services

“For the first time in my life, I feel as though I can focus exclusively on the academic content I’m learning. Not whether I’ll have interpreters, or whether my faculty member will be able to understand me, or whether I can take notes and still see the signer.

Academically, socially, and emotionally – this place was built for people like me. I finally feel at home.” – Jaden S.

  • Meeting the Needs of the Whole Student

Creating well-rounded, personally fulfilled, workforce-ready individuals requires a village. Elsewhere, most deaf or hard of hearing students have limited access to these essential supports outside the four walls of a classroom.

We’d Love to Partner With You

Gallaudet remains deeply grateful for the support our students receive from Vocational Rehabilitation agencies across the country. In addition to lower tuition and room and board, nearly every student on our campus receives scholarships and grants to reduce their net costs.

Still, many deaf families require more financial assistance.
