SES Professions in Deafness

Interpreter Preparation Program

Introduction

Sign Language Interpreting is a richly fulfilling, diverse and creative profession requiring keen intelligence and a sensitivity to the smallest nuances in communication. As deaf and hard of hearing individuals are united in their shared experience, our students are actively involved in the deaf and hard of hearing community. Strangers become friends, common ground is discovered and dialogue begins. In socializing with the lives of others, our capacity for empathy is strengthened and excellence in language education occurs. Our program celebrates and encourages a process by creating an atmosphere where students feel safe to question, experiment, and grow into qualified interpreters. We hope you choose our program and select Interpreting as your major.
