Northeastern American Sign Language & Interpreting Education Program

Northeastern American Sign Language & Interpreting Education Program Northeastern's American Sign Language Program is an intensive curriculum designed to assist students in acquiring competence in American Sign Language.

This Program is designed to assist students in acquiring competence in American Sign Language, developing an understanding of the American Deaf Community and its culture, and applying their linguistic and cultural skills and knowledge to a particular academic area of study. The ASL Program offers a wide array of courses as well as volunteer, internship, and practicum opportunities. For students wi

Students pursuing a dual major in Psychology, Theater, or Human Services integrate their foundation in ASL and the Deaf Community with these academic disciplines.
