Program Overview
The Technical Certificate (T.C.) in American Sign Language focuses on the development of ASL skills for practical application, an introduction to Deaf culture, and a fundamental awareness of the profession of sign language interpreting. Completion of this program expands a student’s communication skills, diversity awareness, and ability to support inclusive environments professionally and personally. Course content is relevant to professionals who serve members of the Deaf community in industries such as human resources, education, social services, healthcare, emergency services, and mental health.
Although this certificate does not prepare students to become sign language interpreters, students who earn this certificate may continue their studies in the Associate in Science (A.S.) in ASL/English Interpreting program.
A minimum grade of C or higher must be achieved in all professional coursework.
