ASL & DEAF CULTURE INFORMATION
Thanks to Laurent Clerc National Deaf Education Center
States that Recognize ASL as a Foreign Language
In several U.S. states and Canadian provinces, academic credit cannot be given to courses in a language unless and until that language has been recognized as a foreign language by the state or provincial legislature. The "Info-to-Go" site at the Laurent Clerc National Education Center has a list of U.S. states that have recognized lt;span style="color: #ff0000;">ASL as a foreign language for the purposes of academic credit. This usually allows public schools and publicly-funded universities within that state to offer ASL courses for credit:http://www.ncssfl.org/links/ASL.pdf.
Universities that Accept ASL in Fulfillment of Foreign Language Requirements
Sherman Wilcox at the University of New Mexico maintains a continually updated list of American colleges and universities that now accept ASL as meeting part or all of their foreign language requirements: http://web.mac.com/swilcox/UNM/univlist.html.
