The ASL minor is designed for students who wish to develop advanced level proficiency in American sign language. Offering small, focused classes, that cover language, culture, education, and literature, this minor is of benefit to social-minded careers that reach and assist deaf people, like teaching, interpreting, and working in the health-care sectors or government agencies. There is currently a high demand of people proficient in ASL in the U.S.
