Translation and Interpreting

OVERVIEW

The Master of Arts Program in Translation and Interpreting (MATI), a new degree, is a professional degree program that will train students for careers in translation and interpreting in local government, corporations, private enterprises, non-governmental organizations and other institutions in the private and public sectors. By offering a combination of practical and theoretical courses, the program provides a clear career path for bilingual students, training them to perform community, legal, medical and conference interpreting as well as written translation in various spheres of governmental and nongovernmental work. The program combines rigorous theoretical grounding and hands on linguistic and professional training with instruction in computer-assisted technologies, software localization and other transferrable skills. This program is offered in the Chinese, Russian and Spanish language tracks with plans for more languages tracks in the future.

The program is unique in the greater NYC area in its focus on the development of practical and professional skills and its emphasis on translation technologies and training in language specific, purpose-driven translation and interpreting skills, targeting high-demand business and public sectors.
