   Getting in

   International applicants should apply through the university’s official admissions process and check the current entry requirements on its website. Degree level matters, and the university admits hearing students to graduate study and a small number as undergraduates each year. Applicants should confirm required documents, deadlines, and any programme-specific conditions directly with admissions.

   What it costs

   The university does not publish a fee for international students in this information; confirm the current tuition with its admissions office. Living costs in Washington, D.C. will still need to be planned for separately, including housing, food, transport, and health cover.

   Coming from abroad

   The university serves deaf and hard of hearing students, and its programmes and services are designed around that. Before applying, confirm whether your programme is undergraduate or master’s level, whether you meet the admission route for international students, and what documents the university needs. Also check the website for language requirements, visa guidance, and any support services relevant to your status.

   How it compares

   Among 2,515 universities in the United States, Gallaudet stands out because its entire academic and support setup is specifically designed for deaf and hard of hearing students. That makes it a very different choice from a standard U.S. university: applicants should look here if access, communication, and an environment built around hearing loss are central to their decision.
