college/universities best for deaf people

[VamPyroX]

Well not anymore.

Not any more? How so?

According to my friends at NTID, I hear these...

A lot of deafies transfer from Gallaudet to NTID cuz Gallaudet is too easy.

NTID only has an interpreting program not deaf studies or degrees in Asl.

Wait, I see on their website they have a certificate in deaf studies.

Deaf Studies

Does anyone know about that?

Bingo!

I thought the same thing years ago until I found that out.

A few of my hearing friends went through RIT for a BS degree. During their time there, they learned sign language and decided to stay another 2 to 4 years to become interpreters.

The College Board gave Gallaudet a big warning about allowing students, who are below SAT scores to enroll in. In other word: Gallaudet got busted, and they won't let this happen again.

All post secondary education is expensive.

I'm not hearing i am deaf in one ear and hoh in the other. I am a deafened.

I would prefer to study deaf studies and asl not interpreting, interpreting is for the hearing students.

I have no idea, because I never went to college in my life, but maybe someday.

Maybe someone on here does. Deafies tend to be very well educated.

 

[jillio]

Not true!

Can you tell me where you found a cheap program? Or what you consider to be cheap?

Not unless they have sufficient credit hours to achieve junior standing. And they may loose some of their credit hours that do not transfer between institutions.

I don't know about NY, but in this state, Wa, if you transfer with an aa, aas, whatever, by law are to be granted junior standing.

I don't live in NY. But yeah, if you transfer in with a degree in place. But then, you have already been awarded a 2 year associte's degree, and are expanding on that to achieve a 4 year Bachelor's degree. But unless you have been conferred a degree, you don't automatically get junior status just by having completed 2 years at another college.

I knew of a guy who had like 2 phds, 5 associate degrees, 5 bachelor degrees, and 2 masters degree and he wasn't even 40.

The guy was like a professional student and kept transferring credits around. He played the system big time.

Those are tuition costs only, and don't include room and board or books or additional living and traveling expenses. I am assuming that you are posting costs per year?

I can tell you that I personally attend, as a graduate student, a state school, and my tuition alone is $3000 per quarter, for a grand total of 12,000 per year. Books average $400-600 a qyarter. Undergraduate tuition at this same institution is 2,000 per quarter qnd when housing and books are added in a quarter costs approximately 3500.00 for an undergrad. Assuming that they are attending 3 quarters a year, that adds up to 10,500.00 per year. I don't consider that to be inexpensive.

The guy was like a professional student and kept transferring credits around. He played the system big time.

But he wasn't really transferring credits, but he was gaining advanced admission based on his degreed status. I've seen people do that, too.

Do you know also if someone transfers with a degree like that will they have to retake similar courses?

Like for example, If I go into the deaf studies certificate program at Rit will I have to take up Asl I - Iv again.
