Online Noncredit Certificate Program in English/Spanish Translation

This is a fully online program.

The demand for competent translators in today’s global society is ever increasing; however, the supply has yet to meet the demand. Native Spanish speakers represent one of the largest minority groups in the country and demand for material translated into Spanish is growing rapidly. A high-quality translation requires a person to have rigorous training, a high level of accuracy and an understanding of relevant cultural issues. The College of Professional and Continuing Studies non-credit Certificate in Translation Studies teaches students the techniques and procedures needed to produce accurate translations with the focus on medical, legal and commercial translation skills. This nine-month program enrolls a new cohort October 1 each year and is conducted completely online.
