Description
The ASL and Deaf Communities major at St. Kate’s allows students to gain a deeper understanding of the cultural intricacies and necessities of Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing individuals. This knowledge will equip learners for rewarding careers in education, government services, community services, and beyond while strengthening their advocacy for social justice and equity within these communities. All courses bearing the ASL prefix enjoy the enriching benefit of being conducted entirely in ASL by Deaf faculty, thus fully immersing students in the language without the interference of spoken English. ASL and Deaf Communities majors complement their studies with a minor or double major in fields like communication studies, critical studies of race and ethnicity, psychology, sociology, leadership, longevity and aging, or international studies. In the course of the degree journey in ASL and Deaf* Communities, students will have the chance to participate in meaningful critical service-learning experiences. This involvement fosters direct interaction and collaboration with several organizations such as the Minnesota State Academy for the Deaf, Metro Deaf School, Thompson Hall Deaf Club, Minnesota Commission of the Deaf, DeafBlind & Hard of Hearing, Deaf Mentor Family Services, Minnesota Deaf Muslim Community, among others. These partnerships enhance the learning experience and further our commitment to social justice and equity. In addition to local involvement, ASL and Deaf Communities majors have demonstrated their commitment to community engagement on a national scale. Those earning a degree in ASL and Deaf Communities will find a broad spectrum of professional arenas where their skills can be utilized to promote social justice, equity, allyship, partnership, support, and access. These fields often include community organizations, education, government, or healthcare, where our graduates excel as administrators and service providers.
