<br><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">Hello,</span><br style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">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.</span><br style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">
<br style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">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."</span><br style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">
<br style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">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.</span><br style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">
<br style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">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.
