Sign Language Interpreting, BS (GPS)

The Sign Language Interpreting (SLI) program is a Bachelor completion degree, therefore this plan outlines a two-year path to graduation. You are expected to satisfy all “success marker” courses, grades, and GPAs as specified. For part-time students, students that enter in Spring semester, students needing to complete skills building courses, or additional general education courses, the program may require more than a two-year time frame. This schedule represents the order in which courses should be taken. Courses are only offered every two years and the year of the semester of entry should be compared to the GPS headings. This suggested plan to two-year graduation does not replace regular advising appointments. Some course offerings may change.
