Gallaudet is the only accredited university in the world established exclusively for deaf or hard of hearing students. In addition to its undergraduate and graduate academic programs, the university offers national demonstration elementary and secondary education programs, continuing education programs, and a wide range of public service programs. Gallaudet is a private university that receives a substantial proportion of its annual revenue by direct appropriation from the federal government under the authority of the education of the deaf act.
