The mission of the DO IT Center is to design and deliver quality instruction to a national audience that prepares both qualified ASL-English interpreters and ASL teachers. The ASL-English Interpretation (ASLEI) program is the only distance delivered program accredited by the Commission on the Collegiate Interpreter Education. In addition, the ASLEI bachelor's degree is also at the UNC Denver Center @ Lowry. Other professional development programs include the Leadership and Supervision Certificate Program, the Legal Interpreter Training Program, and the Colorado Educational Interpreter Professional Development Series.
The Center is also responsible for ASL 1-4 coursework offered on the Greeley campus, at the Denver Center @ Lowry site and online. A graduate program in Teaching ASL is another unique national program offered in a hybrid format, online with summer sessions hosted in Greeley, with two options: an M.A. or an M.A. plus licensure track.
DO IT Center faculty (hearing and Deaf) are selected from around the nation for their recognized expertise; having published in their respective areas, presented at professional conferences and contributed to the growth of the profession.
