Faculty Resolution
"The Graduate Program in Translation cares deeply about public education and all the state employees who support the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and make it possible for it to perform its mission. We strongly reject current efforts to reduce the already inadequate compensation for public employees. We regard these efforts as detrimental to the ability of the University to carry out its mission, and counterproductive to the long-term welfare of the people of the State of Wisconsin. We further assert the right of all public employees to free association, including collective bargaining, without impediment or restriction."
Online Graduate Program in Translation
Translation and Interpreting is a booming field in both industry and academia. It is also a competitive field, and being bilingual is not enough to be a successful professional translator. Similarly, an undergraduate degree is usually not enough preparation for an aspiring translator. Translators must have deep cultural understanding and reading comprehension of the source language, as well as expertise in an area of specialization.
UWM’s Graduate Program in Translation offers professional training in a dynamic online environment. Students collaborate with faculty and classmates from around the world to develop the skills needed to succeed in a thriving international market. Our Program can prepare you to:
- be an in-house translator,
- be a freelancer,
- be a translation company owner,
- continue in academia,
- develop your professional skills without pursuing a degree.
