BA Programs in Humanities Studies Language Studies Interpretation
Receiving a Bachelor of Arts is a way to get a concrete qualification that demonstrates knowledge and skill in a field. It also shows hiring managers that a person is focused enough to maintain effort towards one goal for several years.
What is a BA in Interpretation? This degree can teach students how to translate on the spot, working as an interpreter between people who do not share a common language. Choosing a language is often up to the student and not specified by the program. American Sign Language and Spanish are popular choices in many regions. Students can become fluent in their target language and learn how to quickly translate to and from English, to provide accurate and timely translations in sensitive situations.
Interpretation as a field fosters better communication skills and quick thinking. It also can teach fluency in languages other than English, which is useful not just in translation jobs but in everyday life.
The potential price of a BA in Interpretation has a wide range determined by the specific university attended. The cost per semester and the number of years the program lasts are the most accurate determining factors of the amount of money it will cost.
Careers in interpretation are available in plenty of settings. At large events, sign language interpreters are often hired to stand on stage next to presenters and translate so that deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals can understand what is being said out loud. Legal interpreters are also important in court and other legal settings, to ensure fairness in trials and hearings. Medical interpreters provide information to people who do not speak the dominant language in the area or are unfamiliar with medical terminology in that language.
Interpretation degrees are available at universities and colleges around the world through both online and in-person classes. Search for your program below and contact directly the admission office of the school of your choice by filling in the lead form.
