Liberal Arts: Deaf Studies Option AA Degree

 

The Deaf Studies Option (AA degree) enables students to learn American Sign Language (ASL), and to understand the dynamics of Deaf communities. Students receive a broad liberal arts background for further study in ASL/English interpreting, special education, social work, rehabilitation counseling, and related fields. Advanced students are placed in internships where ASL is the everyday medium of communication.
