CERTIFICATE IN TRANSLATION

This program is intended for linguistically skilled individuals of diverse professional and educational backgrounds who seek to develop abilities in the field of translation. The certificate can be earned in one of seven language pairs or in general translation:

• Arabic to English Translation
• French to English Translation
• German to English Translation
• Spanish to English Translation
• English to French Translation
• English to Portuguese Translation
• English to Spanish Translation
• General Translation

The German to English, English to Portuguese, English to French Translation and Arabic to English Certificates are offered online only. The other language pairs are offered both on-site and online.

ADMISSION

You must pass an admissions test to obtain permission to enroll in the prerequisite introductory course in the language pair of your choice. Test results are valid for one year. Students are formally admitted to the program only upon successful completion of the introductory course specific to the language pair they are studying with a grade of B or better. Students wishing to register for a single course without pursuing a certificate must still pass the admissions test and receive permission from the director prior to enrolling. A maximum of two courses completed by noncertificate students may be counted retroactively toward a certificate.

COURSE OF STUDY

Certificates are awarded to students who successfully complete six courses with an average grade of B or better. With the exception of the Certificate in General Translation, the six courses (one required, at least four core, and one elective) must be taken in the language pair of specialization as outlined below. Students pursuing the Certificate in General Translation must take the required course and three core courses in one language pair and two core courses in a second language pair, with prior approval of the director. Students who have failed to obtain a passing grade in the introductory course can retake it only once, after one year. Only one course toward the Certificate in Translation can be retaken during a student's course of study.

An elective is chosen from among a group of courses such as Marketing, Advertising, and Public Relations; International Organizations; Translating the News; Literary Translation; and Translation into the Source Language, which are offered on a rotating basis. Consult the Bulletin for current listings. Not all courses are available in every language pair.
