- Description
- The ASL-English interpretation major prepares sign language interpreters for work in settings where deaf, hard-of-hearing, and hearing people interact and communicate. This degree allows students to develop foundational skills for general interpreting, with opportunities to explore specialized fields such as those in educational and medical settings, and/or community interpreting. The program is accredited through the Commission on Collegiate Interpreter Education and is one of only 16 accredited bachelor’s degrees in interpreting programs in the country. The major provides specialized preparation for you to develop interpreting skills as well as practical experience and course work. The major is designed to provide graduates with a solid foundation on which to develop the skills needed to pass the National Interpreter Certification exam offered through the Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf or the Educational Interpreting Performance Assessment.
