Flagler College launched its Deaf Education Program in 1973, just five short years after the opening of the College. In the 50-plus years since, Flagler has built a superior reputation in the Deaf Education field, offering a unique and comprehensive program in the state for preparing teachers to work with students who are deaf and hard of hearing.
