Program Mission and Philosophy
The mission of the ASL/English Interpreting Program is to prepare entry-level practitioners who can manage the intercultural demands and complex cognitive tasks for conveying dynamically equivalent messages between American Sign Language and English. The program strives to provide an evidence-based curriculum that instills strong communication skills in English (written and spoken) and American Sign Language (receptive and expressive). The program is based on core values of ethical reasoning and decision-making, critical thinking, and Deaf community alliance. In addition, we aspire to graduate students who consistently demonstrate interpersonal skills that reflect unconditional positive regard for all participants in the interpreting process and professional dispositions that embrace diversity, respect, equity, and equality of opportunity among the diverse language and cultural groups of the community. Program faculty members are committed to conducting and incorporating research in interpreting and interpreter education, receiving ongoing training on best practices in distance learning, and infusing the standards outlined by the Commission on Collegiate Interpreter Education.
