Overview

Did you know that according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of interpreters and translators is projected to grow 29% from 2014 to 2024? That is much faster than the average for all occupations (7%). In New York State, the growth rate will be an even higher 34.4%. In response to the present and future need for professionals in the area, the Department of World Languages and Cultures at College of Saint Rose has developed the Certificate in Spanish - English Translation, a program designed to serve undergraduate students as well as non-traditional, returning, part-time students.
