There are two options for graduate level work for interested individuals: 1) the Non-degree pathway to licensure and the 2) master's degree in Special Education. 

¾«¶«Ó°Òµfirst option, the Non-degree pathway is for individuals who have a Bachelor's Degree in any field. ¾«¶«Ó°Òµnon-degree allows students to get the skills needed in order to apply for licensure, but no degree. If individuals want to interpret in Ohio K-12 schools, they must have this license. This plan of study will take roughly 3 years, based on how much American Sign Language they know when they apply. 

¾«¶«Ó°Òµsecond option, the Master's Degree, happens with the assistance of Special Education major at ¾«¶«Ó°Òµ. If individuals are interested in getting a Master' Degree, they must also concurrently enroll in the Special Education- General Special Education Master's Degree. Students can use coursework from the non-degree pathway as their concentration within the master's degree in Special Education. Master's Degree students will have two advisors: Dr. Sloane Burgess (Special Education, sburges8@kent.edu) and Dr. Jamie McCartney (ASL/English Interpreting, jmccar15@kent.edu).
