required to meet with an advisor, take applicable skills/assessment
exams, and must follow the current year’s Plan of Study for
graduation, including any and all course work that has been
added to the curriculum since their original start of the program.
All IEP courses require a grade of “C” or higher to satisfy
prerequisite and degree requirements.
Note: American Sign Language/Deaf Studies Certificate
candidates do not need to attend a Mandatory Information
Session.
American Sign Language/Deaf Studies Certificate
For those individuals wanting to learn about people who are Deaf,
their unique culture and community, and to be able to converse with
them via American Sign Language (ASL), Columbus State offers
a certificate program. This program does not prepare individuals
to become interpreters; it is strictly a program to enhance/establish
communication skills and to learn about deafness. Attending
a Mandatory Information Session with the coordinator is not
required; students simply register for the courses. Once all courses
have been successfully completed, students apply for the certificate
by contacting the Interpreter Education Program coordinator.
Individuals successfully completing the following six courses (20
credit hours) must apply for their certificate within three semesters
of completing Advanced ASL (IEP 1103).
For additional information about the American Sign Language/
Deaf Studies Certificate, please see the Interpreter Education
Program coordinator. Individuals who have ASL experience may
take an ASL placement test. Contact Alan Atwood at aatwood@
cscc.edu for more information.
