• About Us

    The American Sign Language-English Interpretation Program of CUNY-LaGuardia Community College in New York City is a student-centered, bachelor’s-level program that is dedicated to developing skilled ASL-English Interpreters who:

    * make thoughtful interpreting decisions with confidence
    * can produce processed interpretations fluently
    * are self-reflective, able to identify their strengths and challenges, as well as their
       role in the communities they serve.
    * are independent, life-long learners.

    The 2-year program involves a rigorous curriculum with classes held 2-3 times a week on weekday evenings. However, the course sequence also includes service learning and interpreting field work experiences that will require some daytime commitment.

    We offer several educational options. Please explore our website to learn more!

    The Program is partially funded by the U.S. Department of Education and full tuition assistance is available to accepted students. Upon completion, students must fulfill a service obligation by working as a K-12 educational interpreter.
