Associate in Science
This program prepares students for employment as interpreters for the deaf, and provides supplemental training for persons previously or currently employed in occupations such as nursing, education and human services agencies. Students learn vocabulary and linguistic principles of the language and the process for interpreting into both English and American Sign Language (ASL). Students will also study the ethical and professional considerations of working in this field. Finally, cognitive information is presented which deals with aspects of deaf culture and the phenomenon of deafness itself.
The Sign Language Interpretation Program (SLIP) is a selective access program and admission is based on passing the Proficiency in American Sign Language Exam (PACE), which is administered by the SLIP staff. Students may have achieved the requisite ASL skills through life experience or formal instruction.
