American
Sign Language
The
department offers a 2-course (8 semester credit hour) sequence
of courses in American Sign Language, ASL I (SHS 201) and ASL
II (SHS 202). These courses are taught by a certified interpreter
and are open to all students, regardless of major. The 2-course
sequence satisfies the College of Liberal Arts foreign language
graduation requirement. The first course (ASL I) builds vocabulary
skills and knowledge of the language's structure and introduces
students to deaf culture. The second course (ASL II) develops
advanced expressive and receptive conversation skills and extends
the students' perspectives on deaf culture.
