Nova Scotia Community College is launching a new program aimed at enhancing services and supports for the significant deaf population in Atlantic Canada.
The one-year Deaf Studies certificate program will begin in September 2007 at NSCC’s new Dartmouth Waterfront Campus. It's one of only four programs of its kind nation-wide and the only one east of Ontario.
Students enrolled in Deaf Studies will develop American Sign Language fluency and study deaf culture as well as explore the cross-cultural issues that arise for non-deaf people who wish to work within the deaf community.
Most of program faculty are deaf, giving students an authentic experience with deaf culture, the opportunity to explore the interaction between the hearing and deaf communities and keeping them current on events in the local and regional deaf communities.
Graduates of the program will be qualified to work within and with members of the deaf community in various employment, educational, recreational and social service environments where direct communication with deaf people is required in context-specific settings.
The program will also become a prerequisite for the American Sign Language/English Interpretation Diploma Program at NSCC.
Interested participants can phone NSCC Admissions at 1-866-6722.
