2.- Translation and Interpretation Program
The program in Spanish-English, English-Spanish translation is designed to complement any academic major and to provide
qualified students with the opportunity to acquire skill and experience in translating and interpreting. It may be taken as
a minor to satisfy the BA degree requirements of the College of Liberal Arts. Students will receive instruction primarily
in the practice of translation, including utilization of available resource materials, but will also examine translation
theory and issues of professional ethics and responsibilities. A second objective of the program is to develop students'
writing ability in both English and Spanish.
Students normally begin with
TRAN 3359

must consult the Program Coordinator.
Program participants who have completed at least four (4) semesters of work in translation are eligible to take
professional-level certification examinations, either English to Spanish or Spanish to English or both. Translation
Certificates will be awarded to those who demonstrate professional-level competency in this manner. Consult the Program
Coordinator for additional information about certification testing.
The Minor in Translation will consist of 18 hours, which includes TRAN 3490 and five courses chosen from the following:
