INTR Program Outlines

INTR Program Outlines Many students want to know “What courses should I take first?” Therefore we provide the following program outlines as guides for students to follow. These outlines assume that the student is coming to CCBC without any prior ASL fluency or transfer credits and may be modified depending on screenings, placement tests, and transcript evaluations. CCBC does not accept transfer credits for any sign language courses taken elsewhere. However, we do offer placement screenings to new students who have some fluency in American Sign Language and who wish to test out of ASL I. All students who wish to be screened are to contact the Interpreter Preparation office at 410-455-4274 at least one month before the beginning of the semester to make an appointment. Click on the Placement Screening link for more details. It is important to note that because both Interpreter Preparation programs are primarily evening and part-time they usually take between three to four years to complete. Remember – before you can learn to interpret you must first become fluent in the language. This takes time and practice. It is also highly recommended that students spend at least one year socializing and interacting in the Deaf Community to gain the level of fluency needed to become a high-quality interpreter.

Students may begin either INTR Program in any semester: Fall, Spring, or Summer.

Note: Please read course prerequisites which can be found in Course Descriptions prior to registration. Additionally, because INTR 101, 102, and 203 (ASL I-III) are prerequisite courses, these credits do not count toward the total credit hours needed to complete the INTR programs.
