Justification for changing the course (e.g. alignment with other institutions, program revision, etc.):
This course covering a linguistics topic in ASL is taught in ASL, thus requiring a sophisticated command of, what is for most students, their second language. We are proposing that this course be offered at the senior level.

Students majoring or minoring in ASL Studies.
