Central Washington University
Program Spotlight: Deaf and Sign Language Studies (B.A.), ASL Minor
American Sign Language (ASL) is a valuable and fun language to learn.
Over 20 million Americans are Deaf or Hard-of-Hearing, yet few people in our communities know enough ASL to be able to communicate with them. ASL also leads to advantageous and socially-minded careers, like teaching, interpreting, and working in the health-care sectors or government agencies. There is currently a high demand for quality ASL users to work in these fields, and a Bachelor's Degree or Minor in ASL will set you on the right career path and allow you to contribute to society in many ways. As well as becoming teachers or interpreters, our graduates have gone on to use ASL in a myriad of other careers. Small, focused classes, with a dedicated and passionate professor, are your way forward!
