Off-Campus (online)

For Cohorts B & C, all courses are available on-line, with the exception of sign language courses.  These courses can be taken on the TWU campus or taken at another university or junior college.  The student will be required to provide verification of sign competency at the end of their program by taking an online receptive American Sign Language (ASL) proficiency exam.  The department will work with individual students to determine which sequence of courses the student will follow while in the program.
