Prospective Students
Welcome to Gallaudet University!
You may be asking yourself, "Why should I choose Gallaudet?" Every college and university offers an array of features that prospective students review as they make decisions about which institution to attend. You must decide which aspects of the institutions you are considering really fit you. Among the features you may be looking at are academic programs, location, size, campus culture, technology resources, and career-oriented offerings. Gallaudet excels in all of these areas, but other universities excel, too. What makes Gallaudet different?
The Gallaudet difference-what we call the "Gallaudet Advantage"-begins with a barrier-free communication environment. The communication environment at Gallaudet gives deaf and hard of hearing students freedom to focus on the joy and business of learning and to engage in a high degree of interaction with classmates and professors, both in and out of the classroom. Part of the Gallaudet Advantage rests on our 140 year-old international reputation as the premier university for undergraduate students who are deaf or hard of hearing. The advantage continues with our urban location in the nation's capital, Washington, D.C. Here, unequaled internship, employment, cultural, and entertainment opportunities abound.
Take a look through our programs and find the one that best fits you!
