WELCOME

Dear Prospective student, If you are an international person and like to use your foreign language skills and your knowledge of other cultures, consider a career in translation and interpretation. Translation and interpretation careers are challenging and exciting as well as lucrative. Plus, you can practice them anywhere in the world. You can also enhance your studies and knowledge combining a series of minors that will make you even more marketable.

As the concept of the Global Village becomes more and more tangible, more people across the world need to communicate to do business, to negotiate, to have exchanges, to learn and to share experiences. Businessmen, scientists, technicians, experts, as well as educators need to communicate through professional translators and interpreters: remember they don't have time to learn a language overnight, not even in one year. Learning a language cannot be improvised. It takes years to build those skills. That means they need to hire an expert. Therefore, if you are a natural intercultural communicator and are fluent in two or more languages you can be that professional person to bridge the gaps across languages and cultures.

In fact, you have problably already acquired 50% of what it takes to become a translator or an interpreter. Have you studied languages since early childhood?... Have you lived and travelled abroad?... Are you fluent in English and Spanish?... Are you well-read?.. Do you like to research and study?... Are you curious about new technologies and discoveries?... Are you interested in the affairs of the world? If you answered "yes" to any three of these questions a career in TRANSLATION AND INTERPRETATION is the door to your success.

Please come see us and we'll give you some more interesting information!

Sincerely,

Monica Reynoso-Gaute, M.A.
