News & Announcements
The Teaching American Sign Language (TASL) MA program is proud to announce
a national recognition from the American Sign Language Teachers Association (ASLTA).
ASLTA is the professional organization with a mission to perpetuate, preserve, and promote ASL and Deaf Culture through excellence in teaching. Based on the defined exit competencies acquired in the pedagogical coursework to teach ASL as a foreign/modern language in numerous settings including secondary and post-secondary schools, a Memorandum of Agreement has been ratified. With successful completion documentation of the 18-month TASL program, graduates will receive a 1-year free complimentary membership as a certified ASLTA member ($110). For those who meet ASLTA established criteria, the fee for ASLTA-Certified or ASLTA-Master certification process will be waived or reduced (~$425). The UNC TASL MA program is the second in the nation to accomplish this agreement with ASLTA.

For academic year 2022-2023, TASL has two scholarship opportunities for selected students! The first is given through a recent endowment to the UNC Foundation. The Dr. Marcia J. Smith Memorial Scholarship Endowment will provide a scholarship of $1,000/year to a TASL student preparing to become a qualified ASL teacher. In addition, scholarship funds from the Dean of the Graduate Schools have been increased for up to $2,000/year.
Application criteria will be available through the TASL program in January 2022.
