As translation is interdisciplinary, the program combines courses in Foreign Languages, English, Linguistics, Comparative Literature, Library and Information Science and the MAFLL Program.

Students obtain a Masters in Foreign Languages and Linguistics (MAFLL) with a concentration in Translation, or a Graduate Certificate in Translation. Students pursuing the Graduate Certificate may take four foundation courses at the undergraduate level, but those courses must be taken at the graduate level if they are to be applied to a MAFLL degree. Certificate courses must be taken at the graduate level.
