ASL Minor
ASL Minor |
|
The minor in ASL may be earned by any undergraduate student. Students must 1) successfully complete the ASL I-IV sequence, 158:011 to 158:014, or demonstrate equivalent proficiency; and 2) earn a minimum of 15 semester hours of credit in approved courses. All classes must have a language component. A maximum of one course may be taken that is not chiefly taught in the target language.
The following courses may be counted toward the minor:
158:014 |
American Sign Language IV |
4 s.h. |
158:100/16A:104 |
History of the American Deaf Community |
4 s.h. |

Course work totaling twenty semester hours are currently available. Students may take either 158:100 or 158:110, both of which are taught in English, as long as they register for optional discussion sections conducted in ASL, which will entail additional course requirements intended to advance language proficiency (Italian and German both offer similar arrangements).
158:114 is taught every semester (currently 6 sections per year).
158:100, 158:101, and 158:111 are each taught once every two years by Baynton.
158: 103 and 158:104 are each taught once per year by Marsh.
158:110 is taught once per year by Harper.
