Minor Deaf Language and Culture

The Deaf Language and Culture minor not only enhances your fluency in American Sign Language and strengthens your prospects for a career in human services, but also provides you with a deep appreciation and knowledge of Deaf people, their language, and their culture.

Our Deaf Language and Culture program will allow you to build a solid foundation in American Sign Language (ASL) as you enhance your communication skills. The minor is a perfect fit for majors in fields such as education, business, science, health science, communications, psychology, and others.

True to St. Scholastica’s universal focus on experiential learning, as a student in this program you will benefit from immersion opportunities to socialize with members of the Deaf community. Led by faculty with international experience with sign languages and expertise in second language acquisition, you will gain a full understanding of the Deaf history, culture, and modern experience in America and around the globe.
