Bachelor of Science in English Interpreting

Program Overview

American Sign Language/English interpreting prepares students to work with the Deaf community through learning the intricacies of American Sign Language and Deaf culture, as well as the skills to pursue a career as an ASL/English interpreter. Interpreters use ASL and spoken English to allow people without a language in common to interact. The profession requires strong ASL and English skills, attention, critical thinking and memory.
