DEAF AND HARD OF HEARING EDUCATION (K-12)

The major is intended to prepare teachers to work with students who are deaf and hard of hearing in grades K-12 in a variety of settings. The requirements provide breadth in the liberal arts, study in the professional discipline of education, study in a related field, and study in a comprehensive based approach to deaf and hard-of-hearing education. Students begin taking course work in Deaf and Hard of Hearing Education as early as the freshmen year. In the sophomore, junior and senior years, courses may be taken at the North Carolina School for the Deaf, as well as Lenoir-Rhyne. Student teaching will be during the Spring semester during the senior year.
