Learn how to communicate effectively within the Deaf community while fostering an understanding of Deaf culture and history with an Associate of Arts in American Sign Language from Liberty University. Here, you can gain fundamental skills in American Sign Language as you work towards signing proficiency.

ASL Club and Honor Society
You can also become involved in our active ASL Club and Honor Society. Here, you can participate in weekly signing socials to practice your skills and attend a Deaf church to worship and serve.
