DEPARTMENTAL CERTIFICATE IN SPANISH TRANSLATION
The certificate in Spanish translation provides a
course of study that prepares the student in the
special skills involved in the role of translator.
The award of the certificate provides evidence of
practical competence in translating written texts to
or from Spanish; interpretation of spoken Spanish is
not involved. There are four required translation
courses that must be satisfactorily completed,
following which students may take a demanding final
proficiency examination. Satisfactory performance on
the examination entitles the student to receive the
certificate in translation. Those students whose
performance is judged only adequate may receive
credit for completing the course sequence, but will
not be awarded the certificate. The certificate
requires 12 s.h. credit as follows: Introduction to Translation
Intermediate Translation
