for international school personnel, researchers, professionals, and students from other countries not desiring a
degree from Gallaudet University. The IVSP is individually designed to meet the needs of each scholar, in which
the participant can take a class for credit, audit a course, and/or gain practical experience by being exposed to
what is happening at Gallaudet University. There are also great opportunities to do intensive data collection in
acquiring specific information and skills relating to deafness.

professional goals in a barrier-free environment. Our liberal arts curriculum allows you to develop your
individual skills while preparing you to be a vital part of the increasingly globalized world. We hope you will
