the supervision and direction of the Secretary of Education.

Office of the Secretary

Secretary  The Secretary of Education advises the President on education 
plans, policies, and programs of the Federal Government. The Secretary

Nation's 49 million citizens with disabilities. It coordinates the 
activities of the Office of Special Education Programs, which works to 
help States provide quality educational opportunities and early-
intervention services to help students with disabilities achieve their 
goals. OSERS' Rehabilitation Services Administration, among other

disabled people the education, job training, and job placement services 
they need to gain meaningful employment. OSERS' National Institute on 
Disability and Rehabilitation Research supports research and 
technological programs that are crafting blueprints for a barrier-free, 
inclusive society.

The Columbia Institution for the Instruction of the Deaf and Dumb, and 
the Blind was incorporated by act of February 16, 1857 (11 Stat. 161). 
An amendatory act of February 23, 1865 (13 Stat. 436), changed the name 
to the Columbia Institution for the Instruction of the Deaf and Dumb. 
The name was subsequently changed to Columbia Institution for the Deaf 
by act of March 4, 1911 (36 Stat. 1422). The act of June 18, 1954 (20 
U.S.C. 691 et seq.), changed its name to Gallaudet College. The 
Education of the Deaf Act of 1986 (20 U.S.C. 4301) changed the name to 
Gallaudet University.
    Gallaudet University was established to provide a liberal higher 
education for deaf persons who need special facilities to compensate for 
their loss of hearing. The primary purpose of the university is to 
afford its students the intellectual and spiritual development that can 
be acquired through a study of the liberal arts and sciences.
    In addition to its undergraduate program, the University operates a 
graduate program at the master's level to prepare teachers and other 
professional personnel to work with persons who are deaf, a research 
program focusing on problems related to deafness, and continuing 
education for deaf adults.
Accreditation  Gallaudet University is accredited by the Middle States 
Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, the National Council for 
Accreditation of Teacher Education, and the Council on Social Work 
Education.
Model Secondary School for the Deaf  The school was established by act 
of October 15, 1966 (20 U.S.C. 693), when the Department of Health, 
Education, and Welfare entered into an agreement with Gallaudet College 
for the establishment and operation, including construction, of such a 
facility. It was established as an exemplary educational facility for 
deaf students of high school age from the District of Columbia, 
Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and the rest 
of the Nation on a space-available basis. The school's mission is to 
provide maximum flexibility in curricula and to encourage the 
originality, imagination, and innovation needed to satisfy deaf 
students' high aspirations.
    The objectives of the school are to provide day and residential 
facilities for deaf youth of high school age, in order to prepare them 
for college or for postsecondary opportunities other than college; to 
prepare all students to the maximum extent possible to be independent, 
contributing members of society; and to stimulate the development of 
similar programs throughout the Nation.
Kendall Demonstration Elementary School  The School became the Nation's 
first demonstration elementary school for the deaf by act of December 
24, 1970 (20 U.S.C. 695), which authorized Gallaudet College to operate 
and maintain it as a model that will experiment in techniques and 
materials, and to disseminate information from these and future projects 
to educational facilities for deaf children throughout the country. The 
School is located on the campus of Gallaudet University and is

equipped to serve approximately 200 students.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The National Technical Institute for the Deaf (NTID) was established by 
act of June 8, 1965 (20 U.S.C. 681), and after several years of 
planning, programs began in 1968. Funded primarily through the 
Department of Education, it is an integral part of a larger institution 
known as the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT).
    The presence of NTID at RIT is the first effort to educate large 
numbers of deaf students within a college campus planned primarily for 
hearing students. Unique in the world, NTID is a vital part of RIT's 
main 1,300-acre campus in suburban Rochester, NY. It provides 
educational opportunities for qualified students from every State in the 
Nation and, through educational outreach, publications, and related 
service, serves deaf persons throughout the world. In addition, NTID 
conducts research to better understand the role of deafness in education 
and employment, and to develop innovative teaching techniques. It 
develops training activities for its faculty and staff, as well as for 
other professionals working with deaf persons across the country.
    One of the major reasons for NTID's success in helping deaf students 
join the mainstream of American life is its close working relationship 
with other RIT colleges in developing career-oriented programs of study. 
One of RIT's main strengths over the years has been its ability to adapt 
its educational programs to technological and social change, and NTID 
helps keep that tradition alive. It has served more than 7,000 deaf 
students since 1968.
    Deaf graduates from RIT have found employment throughout the Nation 
or have moved on to advanced academic studies. In academic year 1996-
1997, of those who pursued employment, more than 96 percent have been 
placed in jobs. Of those employed, 71 percent work in business and 
industry, more than 5 percent in government, and the remaining 24 
percent in education and human services.
    The Institutes accept applications from U.S. residents, as well as a 
limited number of international students. An overall eighth grade 
achievement level or above is required, and, except under special 
circumstances, an applicant must have completed a secondary program. An 
applicant also must show evidence of need for special services because 
of hearing loss and have an unaided better ear average of 70dB ISO. 
International applicants generally are required to take the Test of 
English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) and must provide documentation of 
availability of financial resources to meet the full cost of attending 
RIT. References are requested.
    Both Institutes are accredited by the Middle States Association of 
Colleges and Secondary Schools. Rochester Institute of Technology also 
has been accredited by the Engineers' Council for Professional 
Development, National Association of Schools of Art, Committee on 
Professional Training of American Chemical Society, Council on Social 
Work Education, and the National Accrediting Agency for Clinical 
Laboratory Sciences.
