The curriculum includes a core covering the foundations of the language professions—translation, terminology, interpreting, editing/revising, and technology—complemented by a vibrant selection of electives designed to prepare students for the many career paths open to translators and interpreters today. Students learn from experts in the field as they master strategies for translating complex documents, gaining an understanding of relevant standards and how to deliver content tailored to specific markets, clients, and audiences.
