Description:
Classes in this certificate are not currently being offered.
The American Sign Language (ASL)/English Interpreter Education Program provides students with rigorous preparation for ASL/English interpreting. Current models of theory and practice are taught, practiced, and later applied so that interpreter practitioners can function effectively as an interpreter upon program completion. Our focus is the working adult who is already fluent in both languages, English and American Sign Language. This is a three-year part-time evening program. Upon completion of this program, students can expect entry-level job capabilities.
