American Sign Language (B.A.)

The American Sign Language program provides students with a foundation in American Sign Language (ASL) and associated courses that cover the history, culture, and literature of the Deaf Community in the U.S. within a social justice framework. Students choose to concentrate in American Sign Language/English Interpreting or in Deaf Studies. Students with prior knowledge of, or instruction in, ASL must be assessed to determine their level of entry into the ASL course sequence. To request an assessment, contact the ASL program coordinator. Students with no prior ASL instruction or exposure will begin the program at ASGN 101 Elementary American Sign Language I.
