Associate in Arts in Deaf-Centered Interpreting

at Ohlone College

The Associate in Arts in Deaf-Centered Interpreting (DCIPP) is designed to prepare students for entry-level positions that require skills in interpreting between American Sign Language and English and cultural competence among a diverse array of Deaf people from BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, disabled, and multilingual communities. The degree instills an appreciation of the socio-linguistic Deaf minority, who comprise a historically oppressed group and possess a rich cultural history and a vibrant language. The program provides a career pathway for individuals who desire to work in the Deaf community.
