Students learn about deafness from a biological, social, and cultural perspective. A unique aspect of Gallaudet’s programs is the central role that both ASL and Deaf culture play in student learning. This sets Gallaudet’s programs apart from the Audiology and Speech-Language Sciences programs at other Universities. The Deaf-centric philosophy of the Department provides opportunities for Deaf people to shape future directions for the discipline.
