Program Description |
|
As of 2004 the University of Pittsburgh no longer
offers a general certificate in translation.
However, the study of linguistics is essential to a
knowledge of translation theory and practice,
providing a broad knowledge of language that can
serve as a basis for further study in translation. The study of foreign language, literature, and culture is a cornerstone of a liberal arts education, bringing enhanced communication skills, improved ability to analyze and interpret, a better informed understanding of one’s own background, and increased sensitivity for other traditions and values.
In addition to the Linguistics course, the University of Pittsburgh offers the following courses, which are directly or indirectly related to translation.
Classics East Asian Languages and Literatures English Language Institute French and Italian Languages and Literatures Germanic Languages and Literatures Hispanic Languages and Literatures Jewish Studies (Hebrew) Less Commonly Taught Languages Slavic Languages and Literatures
Individual language departments may offer training in translation; please contact each department individually for this information.

As mentioned in the Program Description, the University of Pittsburgh offers no specific translation course, but general knowledge of Languages and Linguistics are essential to work as a translator. The offer of those courses at the University of Pittsburgh provides a thorough understanding of Languages, and is therefore a good option for translation students. The website mentions that individual language departments may offer training in translation, so it is better to contact them directly for more information.
