Dissertation Abstract:

Earning a degree in higher education provides additional employment choices
for every college student. It is an important factor for sustaining future
earnings and job stability. The general problem is deaf and hard-of-hearing
individuals face higher unemployment and underemployment rates than hearing
peers. The specific problem addressed was how more deaf or hard-of-hearing
students enrolled in higher education, however only a few completed a degree
program (Garberoglio et al., 2019). Seven deaf and hard-of-hearing college
students who attended college in the northeastern region of the United States
were purposefully selected from the Disability Support Services, National Deaf
Center listserv, Facebook Groups HearStrong Champions, and Community for the
Deaf and Hard of Hearing. Data were collected through semi-structured
interviews. Primary thematic categories and subthemes emerged from the study,
including participants academic experiences in the classroom regarding the
reasonable accommodations and academic training, and perceptions about the
academic training received to transition to employment. Enhancing inclusive
practices and behaviors may increase educational attainment and employment for
deaf and hard-of-hearing college students.Earning a degree in higher education
