Master of Arts degree began at Gallaudet University in 1986. The program was
initiated because of a national need to provide appropriate counseling and
mental health services to deaf and hard-of-hearing adults, children, and

graduate training program in the world that specializes in preparing mental
health counselors to do clinical or community work with deaf and hard-of-hearing
people as well as those with additional disabilities in mental health and
rehabilitation agencies. This unique status brings monumental responsibility to
Gallaudet University and the Department of Counseling faculty to provide quality
education in preparation for full-time employment upon graduation The program
gives a mental health emphasis to the training of school counselors. The age
range of deaf students with whom trainees work varies from preschool through
postsecondary. The master's degree consists of a minimum of 65 credit hours and
requires two academic years to complete, including the summer between the first
and second year of study. The Gallaudet University master's degree program in

the world. The program strives to train school counselors to work with deaf,
hard-of-hearing students, and deaf special needs students, minority deaf, and

are a part, and the communities in which they live.
