#  American Sign Language at Harvard 

 



## Welcome to American Sign Language at Harvard!

American Sign Language has been a small but vibrant academic field at Harvard since fall 2016. Now there are six levels of the language offered, with a strong support from the [Department of Linguistics](https://linguistics.fas.harvard.edu/) and students. ASL can now also be used to count for the Harvard College Language Requirement, and interested students can earn a language citation in ASL. Learn how to get involved in learning ASL, extracurricular activities and educational events, ASL research and more!
