BA/BS in American Sign Language

Valdosta State offers an interpreting degree in American Sign Language and English, awarded as a Bachelor of Science in Education. The demanding hybrid format blends campus-based instruction with distance coursework and requires 120 credit hours. Its aim is to prepare graduates for work as professional interpreters. Interpreters make communication possible in the many places where hearing people meet people who cannot hear well or at all. The curriculum prepares students for that responsibility through rigorous study. Because of the hybrid design, learners can attend some classes in person and complete others remotely. The degree is meant for people who are set on an interpreting career and ready for the skill development it demands. The university's page for the program explains the curriculum and lets visitors request details, contact the department, and open an application.
