Master of Translation & Interpreting Studies

The MA in Translation & Interpreting Studies offers online professional training to students in French, German, Spanish, and Russian, and often other languages, who wish to pursue careers in the language-services industry broadly speaking, or in other fields requiring advanced professional use of a language other than English. Being bilingual is not enough to be a successful translator. Professional translators must be experts in both source and target cultures, skilled readers of the source language and superb writers of the target language. In addition, they need expertise in an area of specialization and a solid grasp of the language-services industry.

Students in the program learn how to translate and/or interpret, and how to be a language professional through the use of leading industry computer-assisted translation tools and the completion of internships that often lead to employment. See Program Description
