What do certificate holders do after graduation?
During recent years, a number of significant legislative and judicial initiatives and directives have appeared at the federal, state, and local levels to ensure that the approximately 500,000 deaf Americans have full access to public and private programs and services. As social, community, legal and educational services have expanded nation wide, many career possibilities have opened in deaf-related professions. The ASL and Deaf Studies certificate at The University of Iowa can contribute to preparation for careers in education, counseling, human services, psychology, interpreting and others requiring competence in American Sign Language. Students may also apply their knowledge of Deaf studies to various graduate fields of study.
