Why is this Gallaudet Master of Arts Degree in International Development unique from other university International Development degrees?
Nowhere in the United States can one find a university program or any program for that matter, which studies International Development with a focus on Disability except for the International Development Certificate offered through the Department of Educational Foundations and Research here at Gallaudet. International organizations struggle to find professionals who have studied International Development and have a background in inclusion of people with disabilities so that organizations such as, the World Bank, USAID, Rehabilitation International, the World Institute on Disability, Disabled Peoples’ International, InterAction, and Mobility International were pleased to write letters of support for this proposed degree program.
