The ASL program at Indiana University Bloomington does not provide certification or qualifications to teach American Sign Language (ASL), nor does it prepare individuals for careers in ASL interpreting. These professional paths require formal education and specialized training, which are not part of our curriculum. Find more information below about the credentialing for teaching and interpreting ASL.
