These courses are provided in partnership with the Gallaudet University Regional Centers at our five host colleges and in collaboration with sponsoring agencies serving the deaf and hard of hearing communities. Sponsoring agencies can be schools for deaf students, special education school districts, interpreter training programs, or professional organizations, as well as the Regional Centers. Currently, Extension and Online Programs offers no full degree programs or certificates, only individual courses that can be transferred to other programs at the discretion of the degree granting program. Extension and Online Programs also does not offer sign language skills courses. Click here for information about studying sign language through the College for Continuing Education.
