ABOUT THE M.A. IN TRANSLATION PROGRAM
The Master of Arts in Translation program prepares program graduates for careers in translation, language engineering, international business and government. M.A. in Translation students major in one of six language concentrations: Arabic, French, German, Japanese, Russian and Spanish.
All M.A. in Translation students take a common core of major courses, language-specific translation courses based on their chosen language concentration, and graduate electives.
The full list of program and concentration requirements for the M.A. in Translation along with descriptions of the courses can be found in the University Catalog.
Additionally, students may be interested in pursuing a dual-degree program combining a Masters in Translation with a Masters in Business Administration.
Students may apply either for the fully online M.A. in Translation Program or elect to take the M.A. in Translation on site on the Kent State University Campus.
