This 40 credit-hour certificate program is designed to provide
students with entry level interpreting and transliterating skills, a general
knowledge of deaf culture and an understanding of the interpreting profession.
Students enrolled in the program need to possess fluency in American Sign
Language and English and need to have met the prerequisites for entry
into the program. For individuals who do not yet possess sign language
fluency, Harper College offers the following courses to assist in acquiring
the necessary skills: SGN 101, SGN 102, SGN 103, SGN 104, SGN 201, and
SGN 202. (See Sign Language course information.) Upon completion of the
program, students are eligible to take written and performance examinations
leading to state and/or national credentialing.
