Liberal Arts and Science: Deaf Studies / Pre-Interpreting Option

This option is designed to meet the needs of students who wish to learn about Deafness and American Sign Language and want to pursue a career working directly with deaf and hard of hearing individuals. Although the Deaf Studies Option is similar to the ASL and English Interpreting degree, it does not require that students take courses specifically designed to enhance or teach interpreting skills. Instead, the Deaf Studies Option offers a more general education in liberal arts.
