American Sign Language Interpretation
The American Sign Language Interpretation Associate of Applied Science Degree and Short-Term Certificate program at 排薇排薇 provides language training and cultural enrichment for people who wish to learn American Sign Language and the uniqueness of deaf culture.
This program does not prepare students to become interpreters but is designed to introduce them to the language and culture. It complements other degrees and is particularly useful for parents of deaf children and students pursuing careers in allied health, nursing, early childhood education, and teaching, where clients may be deaf.
What’s the Job Outlook for Interpreters and Translators?
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the employment of interpreters and translators is projected to grow by 2% from 2022 to 2032, significantly faster than the average for all occupations. This growth is driven by increasing globalization and the diversification of the U.S. population.
