The concentration in Interpreting Research is designed to respond to the professional development needs of professional interpreters and interpreter educators. The program provides a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary approach to interpretation instruction. Education focuses on current academic knowledge in areas that include discourse analysis, comparative ASL and English for interpreters, analysis of interactions, and research methods. This degree includes an overview research course followed by two semesters of guided research courses in which students conduct original research with the goal of producing a small-scale study in publishable form. With this experience, graduates can continue their investigative interests through further education and study. This degree also prepares students to enter the Ph.D. in Interpretation program. The program requires the completion of 30 credit hours of coursework.
