American Sign Language Minor
Students who minor in Sign Language Interpreting learn much about deaf people and their language. Employers often see this as a great asset for many jobs in this field.
The American Sign Language (ASL) minor is designed to provide an opportunity for students to work toward linguistic competency in ASL, a skill set that can be applied to careers in education, health, recreational services, speech-language pathology, interpreting, and more. While working toward linguistic competency, students will also explore the literature, history, and culture of America’s Deaf community and its influence on the larger global Deaf community. Students who have an interest in linguistics, language, culture, missions, and social justice issues will find this minor appealing.
