American Sign Language (ASL) is one of the largest minority languages in the United States making it the fourth most used language. It is the natural language of American Deaf people. If you are interested in learning American Sign Language, learning more about Deaf culture and working with the Deaf, you're in the right place! 

The ASL Program at Saddleback College focuses on acquiring communicative skills and grammar, understanding Deaf Culture, and preparing students to communicate with the Deaf Community in a variety of settings.
