The certificate consists of three to five 4-credit courses and one 2-credit course, for a total of 14-22 credits.
Students can choose from one of three tracks:
- Translation
- Interpreting
- Translation and Interpreting (T&I)
To declare the certificate, students must contact Elias Shakkour and include the following information in the email:
- Student ID
- Primary College
- Track (Translation, Interpreting or T&I)
Course requirements are listed below. For either track, courses may be substituted on a case-by-case basis following consultation with the Director of TIC, and, if appropriate, the respective language program director.
Translation Track:
| Course | Title | Quarter Hours |
|---|---|---|
| MOL 370 | PROFESSIONAL TRANSLATION AND INTERPRETING | 4 |
| MOL 371 | TRANSLATION AS AN ART & SCIENCE | 4 |
| MOL 372 | TRANSLATION LANGUAGE-PAIR PRACTICE | 4 |
| MOL 379 | TRANSLATION/INTERPRETING PRACTICUM | 2 |
Note:
MOL 371 and MOL 372 are both required if the Department of Modern Languages does not offer a language-specific translation course in the student's language. If the Department of Modern Languages does offer a language-specific translation course in the student's language, the student is required to take a language-specific translation course and either MOL 371 or MOL 372. If it is not feasible for a student to register for a language-specific translation course because it is not offered during the student's time at DePaul, because it conflicts with the student's schedule, or for any other reason, the student will be required to take both MOL 371 and MOL 372.
Examples of language-specific courses that can meet this requirement:
| Course | Title | Quarter Hours |
|---|---|---|
| ARB 330 | ARABIC TRANSLATION | 4-4.5 |
