Overview
Learn About The Online American Sign Language Programs
Purdue University is dedicated to providing comprehensive and interactive curricula for students interested in learning American Sign Language (ASL) as a second language. Purdue’s online ASL courses teach students about ASL by covering five areas: Communication, Cultures, Connections, Comparisons, and Community. By immersing themselves in ASL language and grammar and studying Deaf Community and culture, students learn how to become linguistically and culturally competent ASL communicators.
Our online program offers tools for mastering the grammar of ASL to both express and understand the language. This certificate course is ideal for educators, healthcare professionals, social workers, counselors and anyone else seeking to enhance their ability to communicate with the Deaf community, improve inclusivity or broaden their cultural competence. No prior experience or prerequisites are required.
The cost of attending Purdue varies depending on where you choose to live, enrollment in a specific program or college, food and travel expenses, and other variables. The Office of the Bursar website shows estimated costs for the current aid year for students by semester and academic year. These amounts are used in determining a student’s estimated eligibility for financial aid. You can also use our tuition calculator to estimate tuition costs.
