ASL Minor

Learning another language is a great asset to any career and American Sign Language (ASL) is no exception.  The coursework to earn the ASL Minor is rigorous and covers much more than typical ASL classes.  Aspects of Deaf culture, Deaf history, ASL history, linguistics, ASL folklore and literature, and pragmatics are covered in the ASL courses through a total immersion approach.

Current students enrolled in the online ASL minor should complete all remaining coursework by Spring 2025.

Beginning with the 2025-2026 academic year, the ASL Minor will be a campus-only offering. ASL I and ASL II (1010 and 1020) will be available in both face-to-face and online formats. ASL III and ASL IV (2010 and 2020) will be available as face-to-face campus courses.  Due to our collaboration with the online ASL Interpreting program, ASL 4780 will be offered as an online-only course.

Students must earn a grade of B- or better in all of the courses required for the minor. Residency requirement: Students must complete at least two of the required courses through USU.
