Program Description
These courses introduce the fundamentals of American Sign Language as used within the deaf community, as well as Deaf culture.
Distinctive Features
The study of American Sign Language (ASL) offers students the chance to communicate in and understand another language while familiarizing themselves with the community and culture of the target language group. Students are exposed to a variety of learning situations to increase their understanding of American Sign Language and Deaf culture. Audiovisual, computer software, and field trips to Deaf culture events are used extensively to help students develop their ASL skills.
Transfer Preparation
MSJC offers a range of course work to prepare students to transfer to four-year colleges and universities. All four–year institutions prescribe their own standards for course evaluation and admissions. Prospective transfer students are advised to review the MSJC catalog with a counselor to determine which MSJC courses are transferable.
Degree
An Associate degree is not available in this major. Students wishing an Associate degree should major in Humanities from Area C of the General Education Requirements in Option A. Students are advised to see a counselor.
