Siena School for Liberal Arts (Summer Deaf Studies)

Siena School for Liberal Arts is an RIT affiliate study abroad partner that offers a summer program in Deaf Studies. The 3-week summer program runs every summer and students take two classes for 6 credits.

Since 2005, the Siena Deaf Studies Department has ambitiously worked with Italian and American Deaf and signing communities to provide exciting opportunities for students and professionals alike. Through close collaboration with top professionals in the field, our programs allow ASL users access to transnational Deaf and signing communities by teaching Italian Sign Language (LIS) and Italian Deaf Culture and history. The program is taught in English and ASL.
