The Interpreter Training Program (ITP) is an intensive two-year program. It contains practical coursework for gaining proficiency in sign language through classroom style lectures, practicum and hands-on experience.

Employers have told us that a solid general education background is a very important attribute for job seekers, so 15 hours of math, English and Humanities are included. After the completion of the program, students can begin work at an entry-level position in the educational setting or freelance as a sign language interpreter.

The applications for this job are many. After successful completion of the Interpreter Training program, you can choose when and where you would like to work. You'll have the added benefit of knowing you've chosen a profession that helps people take part in activities they might otherwise have missed.

AAS Degree
After completion of the full-time two-year program of 72 credit hours, the student will be awarded an Associate in Applied Science Degree.
