This certificate introduces students to American Sign Language (ASL), Deaf culture, and the history of the Deaf community. It also helps students gain a broad understanding of the scope and types of support services that are available to Deaf and hard-of-hearing persons. Additionally, there are career opportunities that the ability to use ASL supports, such as being an instructional aide for Deaf students or a dorm counselor at a Deaf school.
This certificate does not qualify you as a sign language interpreter by itself. Students wishing to continue their studies in ASL and/or ASL interpreting should consult with an ASL/Interpreting adviser.
