American Sign Language

Major

Since we offer only a limited sequence of courses, no major or minor in ASL is currently available at the University.

Language Requirement

Students who successfully complete ASL 2020 may use ASL for their foreign language requirement. Classes must be taken in sequence; once they are placed, students cannot “jump” from one level to the next.
