Northeastern American Sign Language & Interpreting Education Program

Northeastern American Sign Language & Interpreting Education Program Northeastern's American Sign Language Program is an intensive curriculum designed to assist students in acquiring competence in American Sign Language.

This Program is designed to assist students in acquiring competence in American Sign Language, developing an understanding of the American Deaf Community and its culture, and applying their linguistic and cultural skills and knowledge to a particular academic area of study. The ASL Program offers a wide array of courses as well as volunteer, internship, and practicum opportunities. For students wi

shing to pursue a degree in ASL/English Interpretation, the Program is committed to providing opportunities that will allow them to acquire the linguistic, cognitive, and ethical decision-making skills as well as the socio-cultural knowledge necessary to serve as professional ASL/English interpreters. Students pursuing a dual major in Psychology, Theater, or Human Services integrate their foundation in ASL and the Deaf Community with these academic disciplines.

The Northeastern ASL & Interpreting Education Program is excited to announce that we now accept external requests for Continuing Education Units (CEUs). While Northeastern has sponsored and processed CEUs internally for many years, we are now expanding this service to the broader community.

Northeastern can sponsor:
- Sponsor-Initiated Activities
- PINRAs
- Academic Coursework

Please note: Northeastern does NOT sponsor Independent Studies.

To ensure adequate processing time, CEU requests must be submitted at least 30 days prior to the event. For information about requirements and the application process, please contact [email protected].

We look forward to supporting your professional development and continuing education needs!
