Associate of Arts - American Sign Language

The American Sign Language program offers courses in language, literature and culture, and prepares students to function effectively in the Deaf community. Students acquire expertise in American Sign Language while developing important intercultural competencies. Many required and elective classes are designated as General Education courses that enable students to explore a variety of fields and to demonstrate proficiency in English, mathematics, etc. This means that this program is also a vehicle for students to broaden their perspectives and deepen their understanding of the world around them while also providing an AA that includes the prerequisite courses and a pathway for the ASL English Interpreting AAS.
