Department of Languages and Culture Studies

The DEPARTMENT OF LANGUAGES AND CULTURE STUDIES (LCS) at UNC Charlotte (www.languages.uncc.edu/) offers a well established curriculum in translating and translation studies (TTS):

UNDERGRADUATE CERTIFICATE IN TRANSLATING (CT in English-French, English-German, and English-Spanish), created in 1979
(http://languages.uncc.edu/Undergraduate-Certificate-Programs.html)
BACHELOR OF ARTS IN SPANISH (B.A.) with two emphases:

- One in Applied Language, which provides the option of taking three upper-division courses in translating
(http://languages.uncc.edu/Spanish/spanish-majorminor.html)

- The other in Literature and Culture

GRADUATE CERTIFICATE IN TRANSLATING AND TRANSLATION STUDIES (GCTTS in English-Spanish), created in 2001
MASTERS OF ARTS IN SPANISH, also created in 2001, with two tracks from which to choose:
Translating and Translation Studies (TTS)
Language, Literature, and Culture (LLC)

For both of the above courses, see http://languages.uncc.edu/Master-in-Spanish/masters-in-spanish.html.

The TTS track of the Spanish M.A. degree consists of graduate course work in the history and theory of translation and the analysis and translation of major discourse domains: e.g., business, medical, technical, legal, scholarly, and literary. It also includes special topics courses in Spanish-English translation, up to 3 hours of professional internship in translating, study abroad possibilities, and a translation thesis option.

Course work in applied language areas such as Business Spanish, a strength in the department (see Certificate in Business Language at http://languages.uncc.edu/Undergraduate-Certificate-Programs/business-language-certificate-program.html), is especially appropriate for the TTS track. This specialized track serves individuals interested in a career related to professional translation or in enhancing their career or work opportunities as language and culture specialists in today's global economy and in a nation where Spanish is becoming increasingly important. It also provides preparation for those who may wish to pursue a Ph.D. in fields such as Spanish, linguistics, translating and translation studies, intercultural communication, or international studies.
