Public Input Survey: Masters in Accessible Human-Centered Computing

Accessible technologies are now vital for people who are deaf, hard of hearing, DeafBlind and DeafDisabled. The Master of Science in Accessible Human-Centered Computing (MS in AHCC) is designed for deaf, hard of hearing and hearing individuals seeking specialized academic training in designing, evaluating, and implementing effective, evidence-based accessible design and evaluation strategies and messages to address the accessibility needs of diverse audiences. Students will also gain knowledge on appropriate accessible research design and methods. Graduates of the program will be prepared for a variety of positions, including those in accessibility or information technology in industry, federal agencies, and non-profit organizations.

Purpose
Gallaudet University's School of Science, Technology, Accessibility, Mathematics, and Public Health (STAMP) plan to establish a Masters Program in Accessible Human-Centered Computing. Your participation in this survey will help us determine the level of interest in and support for a program of this nature.

Participation
Your participation in this survey is completely voluntary and anonymous. No personal data or email contacts will be collected. As we will not collect email addresses, we cannot share survey results with survey participants directly, but will make the results available upon request. Survey results will be reviewed by Gallaudet University faculty engaged in computing and accessibility.

The survey is expected to take approximately 5 minutes to complete.
