PST credit: Courses with the prefix PST (Professional Studies) carry college credit and are designed for non-degree seeking students. Offered for reduced tuition, these credits are not applicable to a degree from Gallaudet but may be transferable to your home institution; it is your responsibility to check with your home institution should you desire to transfer credit.

Note: The unit of semester credit is defined as university-level credit that is awarded for completion of coursework, the transfer of coursework from another accredited institution, or the evaluation of college-level prior learning. One credit hour (at least 50 minutes) reflects an amount of work represented in the intended learning outcomes and verified by evidence of student achievement for these learning outcomes. A credit hour is awarded on the basis of one of three sets of criteria. To meet the credit hour requirements, additional out of class hours will be required to complete these courses.
