Translators increasingly are key players in multicultural teams. They act as facilitators of knowledge transfer for problem solving and communicators in highly sensitive situations.
Carnegie Mellon University is now enrolling students in a Master of Arts in Global Communication and Applied Translation Program that will launch in fall 2019. The one and a half-year program is designed especially for individuals interested in becoming translation professionals whose careers involve content generation and state-of-the-art translation technologies.
The joint program within CMU's Dietrich College of Humanities and Social Sciences offers students access to the Department of English's strengths in building understanding of their chosen translation areas' texts, literatures and digital humanities, in addition to the international diplomacy experiences, computer-assisted technologies and cultural localization offered by the Department of Modern Languages.
