Sami, there is no program in the U.S. that I know of that even offers
Arabic<->English translation courses on a regular basis, let alone a degree
or certificate program at any level.

It may be possible to do a Ph.D. in Arabic, linguistics, English, etc. at a
university that also has a translation program and to take some translation
courses on a tutorial basis at the same time, as well as the courses in the
translation department that aren't language specific.

Such a degree wouldn't be a Ph.D. *in Translation*, but if you did your
dissertation on a translation-related topic, it would be close. You can have
one of the committee members be from the translation department, or it can
even be someone outside the university who knows the translation field.

Georgetown U., Washington, D.C., has a translation dept. and also offers a
Ph.D. in Arabic and linguistics.  You might be able to work something out
with them. There aren't too many universities in this country with Arabic
and translation departments. Maybe others on the list will be able to name
some.

Good luck!
