Translation Studies Classes and Study Abroad Program

Spaces are still available in TRST  400, 404, 405, and 420.  Also, additional information is available for the summer study abroad course in the European Union.


It’s time to register for Spring classes for the Translation Studies Program.  Students who are pursuing the translation certificate or who wish to take classes as electives are encouraged to enroll.

We are attaching an updated list of courses for your information.  Please note that we are offering a special 4-week seminar in Literary Translation for two credits (LAS 490) from March 12-April 11, 2013 that will be taught by visiting professor Antoine Cazé from the Université Denis Diderot, Paris VII.  Professor Cazé is the Director of the Paris VII Center for Translation Studies and a well-known translator of American literature into French. This will be an exciting opportunity to work with one of our senior exchange faculty.  A syllabus of the course is attached.

Please note our study abroad course in the European Union, offered from May 13-27, 2013.  This is a unique opportunity to learn firsthand about translation and interpreting careers with international agencies. TRST 400, offered in Spring 2013, is a preparatory course for the study abroad experience, but not a required pre-requisite for it.

Please contact our office if you need an advising appointment or have questions related to registration.
