Dean's Message

CPSO - From Grassroots to Graduates...

Gallaudet University's College of Professional Studies and Outreach (CPSO) provides a comprehensive array of exemplary personal and professional development, leadership, and outreach programs and services for deaf and hard of hearing individuals, their families, communities, and professionals working with them across the globe.

Our programs and services are developed to address the needs and interests of diverse internal and external constituencies, through the offering of Graduate, Undergraduate, Professional Studies, and non-credit courses and programs. CPSO provides learners with a bilingual (ASL/English) learning environment based on the principles of direct and unimpeded language and communication access.

Consistent with the University's mission, the College is committed to establishing collaborative relationships and partnerships with individuals and agencies dedicated to enhancing the education, well-being, and leadership development of deaf and hard of hearing people, and the individuals, agencies and organizations that provide services to them.

We invite you to explore our website and learn about the many services we offer. From professional studies to research programs; from continuing education to the annual Academic Bowl for deaf and hard of hearing students...CPSO's core belief is to reach out to a broad spectrum of constituents - from grassroots to graduates.

Sincerely,

Joseph J. Innes, Dean
College of Professional Studies and Outreach
