It is important that students who are completing an Associate Degree and desire to transfer to a four-year institution meet with a counselor to plan their lower division coursework. While many majors at SRJC are intended to align with lower division major preparation required by California public universities, specific lower-division major requirements vary among individual campuses. See a counselor, visit the Transfer Center, and check Guides For Transfer in Specific Majors, and ASSIST to review transfer preparation guides for specific schools and majors.

Notes:

American Sign Language English Interpreter Education Program

Uniqueness of Our Program


Welcome deaf and hearing and coda interpreter students. Nationwide, only a handful of Interpreter Education programs serve Deaf interpreters. We are one of the first in the country here at SRJC. The focus is on training Deaf interpreters working in conjunction with hearing interpreters in a linguistically rich classroom environment is one of the highlights of our program. Our classes are conducted in ASL.
  • Local K-12 interpreters can access high quality training
  • Part-time evening program
  • Specialized Training: Video Relay, Theatre Interpreting
  • We have 1 of only 3 PhD's graduated from Gallaudet University with a specialization in ASL Linguistics (Adjunct)

Program Practicum Aspect

In conjunction with Disability Resources Department (DRD) to fill SRJC's need for Interpreter Services on campus.

California Department of Education Special Legislation

  • A large percentage of deaf children are mainstreamed in public school settings or go to state schools for the Deaf
  • Deaf populations are being underserved by "sign language interpreters" who have little or no training
  • All educational interpreters working in K-12 environments must seek professional training by January 2007

Other Markets in which Interpreters Work

  • Medical
  • Legal
  • Corporate
  • Video Relay Services (VRS)
  • Theatrical
