A supervised internship in an approved off-campus agency is an essential part of the major program. Internship requirements, limited class enrollments, and the necessity of offering some classes in alternate years demand very careful planning by students majoring in American Sign Language and American Sign Language-English Interpreting. Major paradigms and alternate year offerings are available from major advisors.
