American Sign Language School in Indiana

Sign Language Interpreting Major at Goshen College:
Located 25 miles southeast of South Bend, in Goshen, North Indiana, Goshen College is a private, co-educational, residential, college of the liberal arts and sciences rooted in the Anabaptist-Mennonite tradition. The American Sign Language Department at Goshen College offers major and minor degree programs in Sign Language Interpreting. The sign language interpreting major at Goshen College will introduce you to the rich language and culture of the Deaf community. We then use those language skills to teach you how to interpret between spoken English and ASL or signed English. Our sign language interpreting program’s small class sizes will allow you to work closely with your professors and peers in a rigorous but supportive setting.

- The distinctiveness of a Goshen education derives from the college's dedication to five core values in preparing students as leaders for the church and the world. Wherever your Goshen education may take you, your journey will be as meaningful as it is practical, as purposeful as it is unpredictable, as fulfilling as it is fun. 

- Stemming from our Christ-centeredness is our commitment to passionate learning, global citizenship, servant leadership and compassionate peacemaking.
