Overview
American Sign Language (ASL) is a bona-fide language. It has grammar, structure and linguistics rules that govern it as do all other languages. Signed English is not the same as American Sign Language.
Not all ASL courses meet the MnTC goals. Students may reference the
American Sign Language course descriptions to see if a course meets Minnesota Transfer Curriculum goals.
The American Sign Language courses taught at Saint Paul College are central to the 30-credit
American Sign Language Studies Certificate program, which provides students with the knowledge and skills of American Sign Language (ASL), focusing on the uniqueness of ASL as a language, Deaf Culture and Deaf History.
