TRANSLATION-RELATED COURSES IN US-BASED INSTITUTES



Unlike UK-based institutes, translation Studies, as an academic disciplinary study, is not popular with US-based institutes. There are very few institutes which provide certificate and degree courses in translation. For the convenience of those interested in doing courses in translation, I have prepared the following list of such courses on offer at US universities. As you would see in this list, there are only two universities – Binghamton and Kent State – which offer PhD in Translation Studies. Moreover, the translation courses offered at other institutes largely concentrate on professional side of translation, providing certificates in specific languages to translators. As we all would agree, in the globalised world of today, translation of technical as well as literary work without question is of profound importance. The universities in the US, thus, should pay attention to this pressing need, and offer more BS, MA, and PhD programmes in translation.

  2. Thank you for your query, Marjan. I congratulate you on your getting admitted to both the universities. I guess it is the PhD programme that you are enrolled in?

    I do not have personal experience with either of these universities, but I have learnt from a colleague, who has earned a Mater's in Translation Studies from Kent, is that the Translation Studies department at the Kent State University is the best in the USA in terms of quality of education and accreditation. Moreover, every newly-admitted student gets a research or teaching fellowship in the University, which is great to gain practical experience.
