    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, and then take senior-level classes. Those who wish to take 4300-level classes first 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 4390 and five courses chosen from the following: TRAN 3359, TRAN 4381, TRAN 4382, TRAN 4383, TRAN 4384, and TRAN 4389.
