Independent Study

This course provides students with the opportunity to synthesize their professional preparation in translation / interpreting with personal interest in an advanced or specialized topic. The student will work one-on-one with a designated instructor in the language pair or field most relevant to the project. With approval the Independent Study may be taken in conjunction with an internship in translation / interpreting. Unless otherwise specified, the final product of the independent study will be a 7,500-word research paper, field study report, or translation with an introductory essay. Students should contact the program director in advance to propose an independent study project.
