- Degree Code: IT.AAS
This program is designed to teach the basic skills and the ethical behavior required of the professional interpreter providing services to deaf/hard-of-hearing persons. Students learn through classroom study, skills development and laboratory practice. Field observation and experience focusing on workplace competencies are also required.
Professional opportunities for sign language interpreters are as wide-ranging as the communities in which we live. Interpreters work in rehabilitation, education, state and local government, medical facilities, legal practices, and other community services. Once you complete our training, you enhance your career growth by earning levels of certification from the National Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf or the state of Texas Board of Evaluation of Interpreters.
