| Academic
Programs at ASCC : Samoan Language and Culture |
|
 |
The Department of Samoan Language
and Culture is committed to the promotion of Samoan language
skills and cultural awareness. Upon graduation from ASCC, students
will be knowledgeable and skillful enough in the use of the
Samoan language and culture that they will be able to lead a
meaningful and successful life in any Samoan community in American
Samoa or abroad.
The Department offers Certificate of Proficiency and an Associate
of Arts degree in Samoan Studies. Both programs focus on analyzing,
maintaining, enhancing and disseminating knowledge of Samoan
values through the proper use of the language as well as an
appreciation of the culture. The programs prepare students for
employment at the entry level as cub reporters, junior translators/interpreters
or teachers of the Samoan language at the elementary and/or
secondary level. |
