Interpreter Training
The interpreter training program is designed to develop fluency in American Sign
Language and to prepare interpreters to function in a variety of interpreting situations
with persons who are deaf and hard-of-hearing.
Mainstreaming in public school classrooms and increased post-secondary opportunities
for deaf and hard-of-hearing students have led to an expanding need for and use
of educational interpreters to convey concepts and vocabulary in a wide range of
academic and career disciplines. There is also a demand for interpreters in private
practice for settings such as medical, legal, mental health and social services.
OSU-Oklahoma City offers an Associate of Science in American Sign Language degree
and an Associate of Applied Science in Sign Language Interpretation degree. The
Associate of Science in American Sign Language provides course work that serves
as a foundation for a bachelor’s degree in areas such as deaf education, speech
pathology and audiology, interpreter training or any area where signing skills are
needed.
