Department of Special Education, Rehabilitation and School Psychology
SUBSTANTIVE CHANGE
Certificate of Advanced Study
in American Sign Language
The current Certificate in ASL requires only completion of
EDS 150-152 (ASL 1-3: Beginning to Intermediate). These three courses
also correlate with the Foreign Language requirement at CSUS. Currently,
students are basically rewarded with a certificate for simply completing
their Foreign Language requirement. In addition, the current level now
allows students to receive the Certificate after having completed only
intermediate level coursework in ASL. It is proposed that the requirement
be raised to include completion of EDS 153 (ASL 4: Advanced ASL: Instructing
and Informing). In addition, students will be required to have completed
at least 7 units of ASL, including EDS 153, at CSUS in order to receive
a Certificate. Further, a minimum GPA of 2.0 must be maintained in each
of the four courses for receipt of the certificate. With this change,
it is felt that the Certificate will have more value to its holders and
prospective employers examining candidates’ credentials.
