The curriculum at Rutgers focuses on developing expertise in the skills necessary to bridge linguistic and cultural divides. Students receive comprehensive training in both translation (converting written text) and interpreting (converting spoken language), equipping them with the theoretical foundations and practical experience required for professional success.
This academic offering is important due to the increasing globalization of communication across various sectors, from international business and diplomacy to healthcare and legal services. Graduates are prepared to meet the growing demand for skilled linguists who can accurately and effectively facilitate understanding between different languages and cultures. This ultimately enhances cross-border collaboration and reduces potential misunderstandings.
