Our programs are designed for traditional and non-traditional students, and may be completed entirely online or onsite. Students have a number of options for study in French, German, Russian or Spanish to English translation, as well as interpreting. We offer a 30-credit Master of Arts with a concentration in Translation, within which students may choose the professional or research track.

Both the Graduate Certificates and the MA (professional or research track) can be earned in two academic years or within five years.

The interdisciplinary nature of Translation is reflected in our coordinated degree programs.

The TIS/MLIS degree may be completed onsite or entirely online. And we offer a dual Master’s in Translation and Interpreting Studies and Master’s in Business Administration (61 credits); the TIS/MBA degree may be completed onsite or partially online. These degrees can be earned in three academic years or within seven years.
