2 Years On Campus Masters Program
Gallaudet UniversityThe concentration in Combined Interpreting Practice and Research is designed to prepare students to work as interpreters in deaf and hearing communities. We provide close interaction among students, mentors, and faculty. Students in this program engage in intensive interpreting practice and analysis as well as research design and execution. Students take an overview research course followed by two semesters of guided research courses in which they conduct original research with the goal of producing a small-scale study. The CIPR concentration follows a two-year format, consisting of four semesters. Students participate in a self-designed internship during the final spring semester with the option of completing the internship during the summer. The program requires 45 credit hours of coursework (46 credit hours if the student selects a summer internship). The program also is available in a three-year format for students who need an additional year of advanced language classes. Part-time study is also available.
