The mission of the Translation and Interpretation Certificate Program (T & I) is to prepare and train bilingual students to a high level of professional competence in the arts of translation and interpretation.

The certificate program is a set of specific academic courses that is narrower in scope and objectives than a degree or major, and which is designed to be finished within one year. A certificate will be issued after the completion of 21 units of coursework.
