Certificate In Translation and Interpretation

 

A certificate program consists of a coherent set of academic courses considerably narrower in scope and objectives than a degree or major.

Certificate programs are normally oriented toward occupations and career skills or for a specifically designed purpose.  Courses are intensive and include practical studies in current business practices and technologies.  The certificate programs consist of a sequence of required and elective courses that connect technical and functional skills with precepts of specialized areas of a profession.

The University offers a certificate program in Translation and Interpretation Studies.  The units earned in these courses may be applied toward degrees.

Responding to needs for professionals in the field, The National Hispanic University has an established program designed to train bilingual students to a high level of professional competence in the arts of translation and interpretation.  Fast, effective, multilingual communication is in high demand in both public and private sectors.  Recent developments in the area of international trade and the computer industry in Silicon Valley, in addition to the increasing demands in our judicial and health care systems, have resulted in a greater demand for translation and interpretation, particularly between English and Spanish.

Simply knowing two or more languages does not qualify one as a translator or interpreter.  Our objective is to provide students with the education and the necessary tools to succeed in both of these fields as professionals.  Our program combines theoretical and applied course work in the fields of business, technology, medical and legal translation.
