The report examines data from Gallaudet College, the National Technical Institute for the Deaf (NTID) and four centers in the Regional Postsecondary Education Program for the Deaf. Data are analyzed in terms of student characteristics, per-student costs, student academic achievment and subsequent employment, and the schools' abilities to serve more students. Findings included that students in all schools were similar in degree and onset of hearing loss, although incoming students' academic achievement varied as did the number of types of secondary disabilities. The federal share of total costs ranged from 29% (California State University, Northridge) to 85% (NTID). Schools offered a wide range of academic subjects and granted various combinations of certificates, diplomas, and degrees. Available data on employment revealed that the number of graduates employed or attending further schooling ranged from 74% to 97% for school year 1983-84. All schools reported operating at or near capacity at current funding levels. (CL)
