I know of a ASL camp for teens at Gallaudet, but it's crazy expensive like $2000..anyone know of any cheaper summer classes? :hmm:

I'm wondering on your input on ASL, not my career choices. Just giving background info when I mentioned that.

It's done often enough, my ASL teacher is hearing. And my similar post was my introduction one, I had made a comment about this when someone asked if I'd talked to my counselor. Just wanting to get input, seems no one around me has any opinions/information. Other than negative ones based on...

My counselor at school (in response to hearing that I wanted to major in ASL and teach it in schools as a career) suggested that I give that "nonsense" up and just get a business degree..her reasoning? that ASL is the equivalent to "cave man" language and that no one uses sign language anymore...

Thank you Huscurian, that helped a ton. :aw: Just another step to being comfortable with a huge step in anyone's life. It means a lot!

Nope, I typed this all up and hit submit and got a blank page. Thought it didn't go through..hit "back" and sumbit again. Then noticed it posted twice. I don't know how to delete it. Sorry.

It was a mistake, bad internet connection. Sorry!

My counselor at school is not helpful at all, I feel like I'm a pain to her. I have gone in a few times and she basically just tells me a degree in Deaf Studies or ASL is "Garbage" and that I shouldn't "waste my time" and that I should just go get a business degree. :shock:

Would it be wise to get a Deaf Studies degree? Would getting a degree in American Sign Language or Deaf Education be better? Which would have the best job outlook?

I'm really interested and have the same question.

How much is tuiton and room/board at CSUN?

What else can you tell me about CSUN that'd be useful to know? :)

Is CSUN as big of a "commuter" school as everyone makes it out to be? I'd have to move out there and stay on campus so I'm looking to get that "college experience" of living in a dorm and newing a ton of new people, etc. They're program sounds AMAZING though and has so many options. Best I've...

hmmm...REALLY? That sounds interesting. :) *begins intense research via google*

I heard this too. An option that most of the ASL instructors/etc I've talked to around here is going to TCC for two years and taking their ASL program for two years and getting basic requirements and then transferring over to TCU for Interpretting or Deaf Education.

Great :) I'll look into more classes then!

I love Switched at Birth. :)

I have talked to some people around here and they mentioned Collin College. And do high school students take college classes often? If I were to take at TCC would I be the youngest?

I'm in Mansfield, near DFW. Dallas is 30-40 minutes away. I've looked into classes at TCC in Fort Worth but they're all full for this semester. I took ASL 1 last year at my school but it's in such a demand that ASL 2 was full this year and I can't take it. I would like to take ASL 1 over again...

I'm from DFW!
