Our academic environments are designed for success. From visually accessible communication in all classrooms to the use of two languages–ASL and written English–you’ll experience barrier-free communication on an entirely new level.

Whether you’re a full-time student or just visiting, when you’re at Gallaudet, you belong. Our students come from diverse linguistic and educational backgrounds. Gallaudet’s ASL/English environment supports your full linguistic and academic development to explore your potential inside and outside the classroom.

Critical thinking and understanding multiple approaches to academic discourse are essential components of lifelong learning and career success. Learn through the intentional and integrated use of ASL and English in the classroom.

Grow socially and culturally as you form unique bonds with your peers. Expand your reach beyond campus as your fluency in multiple languages puts you in a position to participate with deaf communities worldwide, ultimately expanding the Signing Ecosystem.
