Hello,

I write to introduce you to the new Arabic to English track in the
University of Milwaukee's Translation MA program. Beginning this fall, we
will offer an online course in introduction to Arabic to English
translation, as part of this program, all of which may be completed online.

Many students majoring or minoring in foreign languages are not sure of all
career options available to them. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
Occupational Outlook Handbook estimates that "…employment of interpreters
and translators is projected to increase 42 percent by 2020, much faster
than the average for all occupations."

Most professional translators begin training early in their careers,
focusing their undergraduate work on translation-related skills; most go on
to complete an MA in Translation or a related field before they go on to
the job market. Once they do hit the job market, it doesn’t take long
before they are gainfully employed.

UW-Milwaukee’s Graduate Program offers translation study in French to
English; German to English; English to Spanish, and Spanish to English;
Japanese to English and Arabic to English; our new Russian to English track
is set to launch in Fall 2013. Students have the option between the
24-credit graduate certificate in translation and the 30-credit Masters of
Arts with a concentration in Translation. Both can be earned in two
academic years. Translation is interdisciplinary, and the program combines
course work in other departments to allow students to pursue their area of
interest. The program is entirely online. You can like us on Facebook at

Many thanks,
