Deaf Education Programs of Study


The deaf education program prepares teachers of students who are deaf or hard of hearing. After completion of the Bachelor of Arts program, students will have completed the requirements to become highly qualified. They will be eligible to apply for Oklahoma state teaching certificates in two areas: deaf and hard of hearing and either elementary education or a secondary content area, depending on their area of concentration. The program is nationally accredited by the Council on Education of the Deaf (CED) as a Comprehensive Program. Students are required to take courses in American Sign Language as well as courses in clinical audiology and auditory-oral approaches.
