Online Courses

Students can earn college credits through coursework offered in a variety of settings including, online courses owned by the University and taught by its faculty, and online courses from the Online Consortium of Independent Colleges and Universities (OCICU) of which Gallaudet is a participating institution.

Courses in online UG programs are offered in an 8-week accelerated format throughout the year. Classes will be asynchronous which means students will work independently and will not need to meet at a specific time.
