A full-immersion experience for hearing students Bachelor of Arts in Interpretation: With video and audio equipment in Gallaudet’s award-winning interactive laboratory that replicates real-life working situations, students who graduate from Gallaudet’s Bachelor of Arts in Intepretation program (BAI) are uniquely prepared to work in a variety of legal, medical, business, education, and government settings. The Bachelor of Arts in Interpretation program is also open to deaf and hard of hearing and hearing students. Hearing Undergraduate Students: Admission is also open to a limited, select group of hearing undergraduate students, known around campus as “HUGs.” The HUG program is for students who aren’t deaf or hard of hearing but have knowledge of American Sign Language and want to work with deaf people or in the deaf community. Live alongside deaf and hard of hearing classmates and immerse yourself in a bilingual learning experience like no other in the world. BRAIN AND LANGUAGE LAB FEATURES REVOLUTIONARY TECHNOLOGY In 2010, Dr. Laura-Ann Petitto, a world-renowned cognitive neuroscientist and a developmental cognitive neuroscientist, opened Gallaudet’s state-of-the-art Brain and Language Laboratory (BL2). Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy, or fNIRS, is the centerpiece of BL2 and is one of the world’s most advanced brain imaging systems. At this lab, Petitto and her team study the acquisition and neural processing of language, the optimal conditions for bilingual language development, and the effects of early bilingual language exposure on the developing brain and its functions. Having an independent neuro-imaging center at Gallaudet affords both undergraduate and graduate students research and internship experience; it also allows BL2 researchers to dedicate the equipment full-time to tracking language acquisition and processing in children. 6 Academics

Last year, a Gallaudet delegation rang in the New Year in Delhi, India, and students toured the subcontinent from the Taj Mahal to Ghandhi’s memorial, stopping to meet with leaders and scholars with an interest in both American and Indian deaf communities and signed languages. Other recent tours and internship sites have included France, Italy, Japan, Laos, Norway, and South Africa. Awarded the Top Ten Citizen Diplomacy Award for international relations and education activities by the U.S. Center for Citizen Diplomacy and the U.S. State Department, Gallaudet and its students are directly engaged in learning experiences across the globe. Gallaudet was the only institution to receive 100% scholarship support when it was selected as one of 15 universities to travel to China on the first U.S. Department of State Higher Education USA delegation trip in 2011. Spend your first Spring Break in another country! The First Year Study Tour (FYST) is a one-week international trip offered to all qualified first year students as a study abroad experience for academic credit. Intended to complement Gallaudet’s liberal arts philosophy, the FYST pairs seminar-style classes with a week touring a foreign country. In addition to personal growth, team building and leadership skills gained as you interact with your classmates and teachers, the tour features service learning projects that benefit local schools, communities, and ecologies.
