American Sign Language Studies (ASLS)
Certificate (Career)
Designed to introduce students to the history, culture and community of
the Deaf. Students work towards gaining fluency and mastery of American
Sign Language by acquiring foundational skills, vocabulary, acceptance and
knowledge of the Deaf community and by gaining an understanding of this
unique non-verbal language. Students gain confidence by becoming involved
in the Deaf community through coursework and internships.
By obtaining a certificate in American Sign Language (ASL) Studies, students
have a strong foundation to further their studies in American Sign Language,
interpreting, and education of the Deaf or other related fields. This certificate
also provides individuals with the skills they need to work with the Deaf
community and Deaf individuals more effectively. This certificate can be
used to meet the elective requirements of the AA degree in general studies.
Students will be required to complete the ASL Proficiency Interview prior to
graduation.
