Residency Requirements

Students are expected to complete at least 68 hours of core courses at Gallaudet University. A select number of course credits (maximum of 9) may be transferred from other college/university graduate programs, with prior approval of the Department of Counseling faculty.

Students, who have not had extensive immersion in the deaf community, are encouraged to live on Gallaudet's campus. The faculty believes that the experience of interacting with deaf and hard-of-hearing undergraduate and graduate students on campus is a valuable learning experience that lends itself to our program objectives and competencies.
