Actually, NTID does have an education program. I have a lot of friends who have graduated from this program.

Just because RIT means "Rochester Institute of Technology" and NTID means "National Technical Institute for the Deaf"... doesn't literally mean that both are only for technology.

NTID is actually one of the 8 colleges within RIT. RIT offers computer sciences, liberal arts, math, business, applied science & technology, etc.

I had a co-worker who was majoring in medicine so she could become a physician's assistant. :)

Yeah, the College of Applied Science & Technology there has a major for hotel and restaurant management. The Henry's restaurant on the 4th floor of Eastman building is run by those students on Tuesdays and Thursdays and is available to those who make reservations.

Yes, most of the Deaf ed majors are for Master's Degree. If you do find one that offers a BA program in Deaf Ed, great..if not, then go for a BA degree in elementary, special, or secondary education and then go for your master's in Deaf Ed.

Yeah... I took a few classes there:

Beers of the World
Wines of the World
Foods of the World

Yay! ;)
 
I highly suggest that you contact the state education department of the state in which you are planning to work as a teacher to inquire about specific requirements. With the NCLB, most states are now required to have teachers with a background in content areas. In fact, some states do not care if you have a deaf education degree. Just a thought.
