Beginning Fall 2023, Wichita State will offer a Bachelor of Arts in American Sign Language.
Students working toward a Bachelor of Arts in ASL will be able to choose one of three tracks: The Structure of Language; Language and Culture in Context; or Interpreting Methods.
As demand for certified interpreters increases in Kansas, WSU’s program aims to help grow the talent pipeline for the state. Candidates wanting to take the national Certified Deaf Interpreter Examination are now required to have a bachelor’s degree.
Wichita State is now one of only two universities in Kansas that offers this certification.
