Our American Sign Language\/English Interpreting program goes beyond language, culture and how to facilitate conversations. We work to develop well-rounded interpreters who value and consider others&#8217; perspectives. Who are culturally sensitive and empathetic practitioners. And who continuously work to better themselves and the interpreting profession.<\/p>\n\n\n    <div id=\"program-details-jump\">\n        <a class=\"uwm-c-button uwm-c-button--s\" href=\"#program-details\" rel=\"\">Jump to Program Details <i class=\"uwm-u-pl-10 fa-solid fa-arrow-down\"><\/i><\/a>\n    <\/div>\n\n    \n\n\n    <div class=\"uwm-l-row uwm-u-mt-50\">\n                    <div class=\"uwm-l-col\">\n                <h2 class=\"size-h6 uwm-u-my-10 uwm-u-pt-10 uwm-u-border--top\">Program Type<\/h2>\n                <p class=\"size-h4 uwm-u-mt-0\">\n                    <strong>Major<\/strong>\n                <\/p>\n            <\/div>\n        \n                    <div class=\"uwm-l-col uwm-l-offset--2\">\n                <h2 class=\"size-h6 uwm-u-my-10 uwm-u-pt-10 uwm-u-border--top\">Program Format<\/h2>\n                <p class=\"size-h4 uwm-u-mt-0\">\n                    <strong>On Campus<\/strong>\n                <\/p>\n            <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"intro-sidebar\" class=\"uwm-l-col uwm-l-col--4 uwm-l-offset--1\">\n\n        <div class=\"uwm-mini-rfi uwm-p-card uwm-p-card--gold uwm-p-card--shadow\">\n            <div class=\"uwm-p-card--body\">\n                <div class=\"uwm-p-card--content\">\n                    <div class=\"uwm-p-card--title\">Request Information<\/div>\n                    <div id='form_2b731d16-3d73-4290-b0e2-2d47b3995d54'>Loading&#8230;<\/div>                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        \n\n<div class=\"uwm-u-flex uwm-u-flex--wrap uwm-u-flex--left uwm-u-mt-40\">\n<a class=\"uwm-c-button uwm-c-button--outline uwm-u-mr-20 uwm-u-mb-20\" href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/apply\" rel=\"\">Apply Now<\/a>\n\n\n\n<a class=\"uwm-c-button uwm-c-button--outline uwm-u-mr-20 uwm-u-mb-20\" href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/cost-aid\" rel=\"\">Cost<\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n<script async='async' src='https:\/\/admissions.uwm.edu\/register\/?id=2b731d16-3d73-4290-b0e2-2d47b3995d54&amp;output=embed&#038;div=form_2b731d16-3d73-4290-b0e2-2d47b3995d54'>\/**\/<\/script>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n\t    <section id=\"program-highlights\" class=\"uwm-u-py-80 uwm-bg-gray-dark\">\n        <div class=\"uwm-l-container--base\">\n        \n\n<div id=\"program-highlights-content-video\" class=\"uwm-l-row\">\n<div class=\"uwm-l-col\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading heading-separator-short\" id=\"h-why-choose-our-program\">Why Choose Our Program?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Strong 51ÁÔÆæ: <\/strong>Our philosophy, \u201cDeaf Heart Starts Here,\u201d takes hold the moment you begin.

Students who apply during the spring admission period and are admitted to the program. The cohort then begins the two-year sequence in the subsequent fall semester.

Take a look at the list of questions below to determine if interpreting is the right career choice for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Do you believe that ASL is a complex language that requires years of dedication to learning with a community of people?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Are you proficient in speaking and writing in English?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do you find yourself analyzing what people are saying and finding ways to clearly communicate your ideas or others?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Are you comfortable standing and speaking or performing in front of a group of people?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you are presented with a problem, can you usually figure out multiple appropriate responses to solve the problem?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do you connect with other people in conversation easily? Would you consider yourself a \u201cpeople person\u201d?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do you value the differences of others and find ways to relate to people who are different than you and are able to empathize with them?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Are you interested and passionate about learning more about the Deaf community, American Deaf culture and other minority groups?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Can you easily maintain your attention and recall information when you are learning or having a conversation?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you are given a set of guidelines and a framework to understand professional behavior, do you feel it is important and of value to conduct yourself accordingly?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>If you responded \u201cyes\u201d to all of the above questions, interpreting seems to be the right career path for you! If you responded \u201cno\u201d to any of the questions above, a conversation with the advisor will help you determine if interpreting is the best option for you. In either case, we encourage you to contact the advisor with further questions about the interpreting profession.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"tab-n9uv-faculty-staff\"
