Upon graduation, students are prepared for professional careers in public and private schools, residential settings, community agencies, clinics, and organizations. Faculty teaching, research, and service activities facilitate these outcomes. The Department offers a Bachelor of Science degree in Education of Deaf Children as well as undergraduate coursework in the interdisciplinary Birth-Kindergarten (B-K Program).
