The Department of American Sign Language & Interpreting Studies (ASLIS) designs and delivers quality programs that center around learning, using and teaching American Sign Language. Undergraduate and graduate programs are offered, as are Liberal Arts Curriculum courses and professional development coursework and certificates. Programming is offered on the UNC main campus to traditional undergraduate students and online to a national audience.

ASL I-IV is offered on both the UNC main campus as well as online. An ASL minor of 18-24 credit hours is also available for students interested in a stronger language foundation. 

The BA in ASL-English Interpretation begins at ASL V and it is offered on the UNC main campus or in a hybrid online delivery system that requires an annual summer session on campus. The BA is accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Interpreter Education, and the online offering is the only distance-delivered BA in ASL English interpreting in the nation to have achieved that distinction.  

The ASLIS faculty (Deaf and nondeaf/hearing) are selected for their recognized expertise. They each contribute to their respective field by researching, publishing, and presenting in various local, national and international venues. They are acknowledged as outstanding teachers by their students and their peers.
