American Sign Language and Deaf Studies
Minor
No matter your major, a minor in American Sign Language and Deaf Studies will provide you with a unique knowledge base and skill set applicable to any career.
The American Sign Language and Deaf Studies program is a popular program at Niagara University. The minor allows students the ability to earn a “degree with a difference.”Â
Interested students are encouraged to start the courses early in their studies at Niagara University due to the progressive sequencing of the courses. We realize that many students like to explore courses before making a decision. You are welcome to sit in on a class or two, come to our events, and/or meet with our professors individually.
Please contact us to find the best day and time to fit your schedule. We enjoy visitors!
We provide internships for students at local Deaf-centered agencies and schools to expose them to Deaf culture in the workplace.
We offer our classes Monday – Thursday to provide a variety of class times for students to fit their schedules.
We encourage all students to join the ASL Club to take the skills they learn in the classroom and practice them in a relaxed environment. The club participates in both on and off campus events to foster a connection between an academic skill and real life situations.
