A certified sign Language Interpreter takes a minimum of two years of college (or other educational program.) Different states have different requirements for certification in interpreting American Sign Language, professionally. Some states require a four year college course, others require more or less than this. The exact degree you would obtain depends on the type of instruction you receive, and what you are wanting to do. It is important to realize that certification in ASL is not the same thing as having a degree related to American Sign Language Interpreting. Certification in American Sign Language, can usually be acquired by a two-year college course, and is often part of an overall four year course for a degree in American Sign Language related fields. Having certification in ASL, is basically like saying you have certification in Spoken Japanese, except that not all states consider ASL as a foreign language. If you want to become an Interpreter you will need to look at college's or Universities that you are willing to attend that offer a B.A. degree in American Sign Language Interpreting. It would also be a good idea to consider acquiring certification in ASL, which is often part of the overall four to six year course. You may also become certified in ASL and interpret for friends and family; however as stated before certification in ASL does not make you a qualified ASL interpreter professionally, but it can help pave the way. To be a qualified ASL Interpreter you must have a Degree in American Sign Language Interpreting, or a similarly related degree.

How much education must a sign language interpreter have?
The amount of education that a sign language interpreter must have depends on what kind of interpreter you want to become. It used to be that all you needed to become an interpreter was the knowledge of sign language and whatever language you were interpreting it to or from. Because of the deaf community pushing for better qualified interpreters, most states now require interpreters to pass a state or national test. Most of these tests require both a written as well as a performance test of some kind. While it is not yet required in most states to have any formal education in sign language, most interpreters have at least an associates degree from an interpreter training program. These programs train its interpreters in much more than just how to sign. Students learn how to process information, how to handle themselves in different settings, and the code of ethics that interpreters are required to follow. In recent years some colleges are now offering bachelors degrees in American Sign Language Interpreting. I suspect that eventually some type of college degree will be required to work as a sign language interpreter.
