The American Sign Language (ASL)-English Interpreting Certificate offers extensive exposure to the theory and practice of intercultural communication between deaf and hearing people, through which students may prepare to become American Sign Language-English interpreters. Students preparing for entry-level staff positions or freelance assignments will find this program helpful, as will students preparing for state quality assurance screening and national evaluation. Candidates for admission must complete the American Sign Language-Deaf Studies Certificate and a screening procedure before entering the program. The screening assesses overall conversational competence in ASL and spoken English as well as production and comprehension of targeted syntactic structures of ASL.
