Clusters in American Sign Language

The College requires every matriculated student to complete undergraduate work in each of the three divisions: Humanities, Social Sciences, and Natural Sciences.  While all undergraduates need only one major, they may, in the other two divisions, choose to complete another major, a minor, or a cluster.  Majors and minors in ASL are part of the Humanities division. For non-ASL majors, three clusters are now available through the ASL Program to satisfy these general degree requirements.
