ASL Minor

Minor in American Sign Language
A minor in American Sign Language (ASL) enables students to develop the necessary knowledge of the cultural

at a conversational level. Students will be aware of the pathological perspective of deafness that is typically held
by the dominant American hearing culture and possess the ability to navigate between both the cultural and
pathological perspectives. An off campus summer immersion experience is required to complete the
American Sign Language minor (offered every other year).
