The Translation and Interpretation Studies Certificate introduces graduate students to diverse traditions, theories, and practices of translation and prepares them to produce entry-level professional translations (written) and interpretations (oral) in a variety of professional environments, including legal, medical, business, and cultural settings. The core courses cover general culture, theory, and practical skills necessary to analyze, interpret, and translate texts from a source to a target language. The specific “track” course, the internship and the practicum give students the opportunity to pursue individual professional interests related to translation studies and its professional application. To be accepted into the program, students must have a high-level of oral and written proficiency in another language other than English. Proficiency will be determined by language placement exams, documentation of having a major/minor in a language other than English (Spanish) and/ or faculty consent. Upon program completion, students will be guided in taking a certification exam of their choice, if desired. For the AY 2022 - 2023, the certificate will be offered to graduate students proficient in English and Spanish only.

The Translation and Interpretation Studies Certificate is offered as an added credential of specialization for:

  • Current students pursuing a graduate degree at Dominican University
  • Returning students who want to add the specialization to a completed undergraduate degree
