ASL-English Interpretation (640) |
Associate of Applied Science: ASL-English Interpretation |
The Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree in American Sign Language-English Interpretation program is designed to provide the foundational knowledge and skills for entry-level employment or for continued interpreter education within the field of ASL-English Interpretation. Students will learn American Sign Language and sharpen their English skills, and learn how to translate between the two languages.
The American Sign Language-English Interpretation program is an intensive two-year full-time program that prepares students for employment interpreting between Deaf and hearing people within the community, or for continued interpreter training and education at four-year interpreter training programs. Students who complete the ASL-English Interpretation A.A.S degree program will have the knowledge and skills to take both the Virginia Quality Assurance Screening (VQAS) and the Educational Interpreter's Proficiency Assessment (EIPA), and pursue additional credentials following completion of the program.
Entrance requirements for this program include placement into ASL 201 and ENG 111. Following acceptance into the program, students must maintain a C or better in each class course in order to register for subsequent courses in the program.
