Sign Language Programs at Bethel
You'll experience personal attention, tutoring sessions, interpreting opportunities and practicum coursework in our sign language program.
Do you talk with your hands? So do we! Sign Language Interpreters are in demand. A degree in this field can lead to exciting work in educational settings, at video relay services and in public settings, such as theatre performances or political events (one of our students interpreted for former President Barack Obama).
