The American Sign Language (ASL) Program at The Ohio State University is a unique, interdisciplinary program that benefits from its affiliation with the Colleges of Education and Human Ecology, Humanities, and Social and Behavioral Sciences. The program offers ASL courses in each college and is fortunate to have Faculty Leaders from each who serve as coordinators for the overall program.
