Educating Professional Translators and Intrepreters
Founded in 1968, the Graduate School of Translation and Interpretation (GSTI) offers the following Master of Arts Degrees in Chinese, English, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Russian, and Spanish:
Master of Arts in Translation (MAT)
Master of Arts in Translation and Interpretation (MATI)
Master of Arts in Conference Interpretation (MACI)
Faculty
The faculty are all experienced translators and interpreters, dedicated to excellence and outstanding performance both as professors and working professionals. The small, select group of international linguists who make up the student body are distinguished by their impressive language skills, their intellectual curiosity, and their determination to meet the exceptional challenges of a demanding profession. Professors and students work closely together to achieve educational goals and professional standards in a supportive, collegial atmosphere. To accommodate the specific needs of individual language combinations and to stay abreast of developments in the profession, the sequential, modular curriculum of GSTI is as sensitive to theoretical and practical issues as it is to evolving market conditions. Students receive individual attention in small classes taught by native speakers of the GSTI languages.
Degree Programs
GSTI students can earn any of the three Master of Arts degrees over a two-year period. Certain highly qualified students with significant work experience as translators or interpreters or degrees in translation or interpretation may qualify for entry into GSTI's one-year MA program.
Certificate Programs
Non-degree programs are offered in Spanish for court and medical interpreting; the teaching of translation and interpretation; and intensive preparation for translation and interpretation. A certificate of completion is awarded at the end of each course.
Interdisciplinary Multilingual Courses
The Monterey Institute of International Studies, with its emphasis on preparing innovative professionals to function effectively in crosscultural, multilingual environments, is an ideal setting for translator and interpreter training. Interdisciplinary, multilingual courses allow GSTI faculty and students to work with and learn from professors and students from the Institute's Graduate Schools of International Business, International Policy Studies, and Language and Educational Linguistics.
Memberships and Associations
GSTI has been a member of the Conférence Internationale Permanente d'Instituts Universitaires de Traducteurs et Interprètes (CIUTI) since 1988. It welcomes student exchanges with other CIUTI schools. GSTI is a member of the American Translators Association, and the Fédération Internationale des Traducteurs and is recognized as a graduate school of translation and interpretation by the Association Internationale des Interprètes de Conf閞ence.
Training Innovative and Knowledgeable Professionals
GSTI's high academic and intellectual standards and its responsiveness to developments in the rapidly evolving fields of translation and interpretation make its graduates greatly sought after by prospective employers. Increasingly, GSTI graduates are engaged in setting standards for innovative applications of translation and interpretation, while contributing to the high standards of the well-established sectors of the profession. In addition, they are frequently called upon to educate the users of translation and interpretation services about the conventions of the profession. GSTI graduates are qualified, knowledgeable professionals, trained to assess and adapt to market needs while remaining in the vanguard of their professions.
GSTI programs encourage students to develop superior analytical and critical-thinking skills. GSTI faculty members strive to instill a professional sense of conduct and ethics in their students, while encouraging enthusiasm for exploring and appreciating the richness and diversity of different languages and cultures. GSTI's state-of-the-art interpretation and translation facilities provide students with an optimum learning environment in which they can hone their skills while practicing with the actual tools of their trade.
Teamwork is an essential aspect of both translating and interpreting: interpersonal, intercultural, and networking skills are an integral part of a translator's or interpreter's training. GSTI professors regard their students as future colleagues with whom they share their knowledge, experience and culture. Faculty members have fashioned a curriculum that addresses the intellectual, technical, managerial and personal challenges confronting translators and interpreters. At the Monterey Institute, translation and interpretation students have an unparalleled opportunity for personal growth and professional development in the unique and highly stimulating atmosphere of GSTI. As graduates, they join the global network of GSTI alumni who are redefining the translation and interpretation professions for the 21st century.
