(B.A.; B.S.; B.A.A. degrees)
The minor in American Sign Language (ASL) will enable students to acquire conversational skills in American Sign Language and to develop an appreciation and understanding of the way in which people in the Deaf community live, think and communicate. The ASL minor is designed for students who wish to expand their language skills and cultural knowledge to enhance other majors such as linguistics, communication disorders (speech-language pathology and audiology), journalism, business, education, theater, social work, psychology, health sciences or other areas of study.
