Honours Bachelor of Interpretation in American Sign Language - English

Program Overview

The Honours Bachelor of Interpretation (American Sign Language – English) (C302) program was developed to address the growing demand for qualified American Sign Language (ASL) interpreters. This degree prepares graduates for work in this dynamic field.

An interpreter is a fluent bilingual-bicultural professional who facilitates communication between those who do not share the same language or culture.

To be a sign language interpreter requires manual dexterity, critical thinking skills, visual-spatial recognition, excellent short- and long-term memory, and superior cognitive processing abilities in order to process information instantaneously at a level of bilingual and bicultural expertise beyond conversational fluency. For non-Deaf interpreters, this will also include auditory-processing capabilities.
