TOPIC STARTER | Online French MA program | Jan 16, 2006 |
Thus far this thread has focused on translation programs, and I have mentioned one or two linguistics programs.
Does anyone know of an online MA (preferably PhD) in French offered in the U.S.?
Thanks,
Rob Albon

I just recently joined proz but I've been looking for an on-line program for quite awhile too. Here's an on-line certificate program I found in the US that looks interesting:
The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign offers the following online certificate program:
* Professional Development Sequence in Translation, French
This sequence of courses for professional development in translation combines general courses on linguistic contrasts between French and English, with a selection of other courses, both general (Theory of Translation, Terminology and Lexicology) and more specific (Commercial French, Scientific and Technical French).
The University of Illinois is accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. ▲ Collapse

| IoL diploma in translation | Jun 20, 2006 |
Hey Rob,
ever considered taking the Iol diploma in translation? As far as I can see it's equivalent to a masters and recognized worldwide. Most Universities offer preparatory post-graduate courses for this exam so it can't be that bad.
I'm actually considering it a viable option for me also.
By the way, can anyone who has take it give an insight, and Rob too, on the exam and subsequent results in the translation market?
Best regards.

| NYU: Online courses, no web registration? | Sep 1, 2006 |
Hello,
I have looked at the NYU certification option twice now, hopefully getting farther this time thanks to some contact information I gleaned from this thread. I do German to English, and it looks like they have a few courses, but here is the place where I get confused: No web registration for an online course? Huh? Wie? Nani?

I will be asking them this question too, but it makes my brain seize up a little. What does that even mean? Do I have to fly to New York to sign up for online classes? I do hope I am just seeing difficulty where there is none, for there is very little out there for my language pair, zero here in Portland (which makes no sense at all; we have DHL/Freightliner, Adidas, and a direct Lufthansa flight to Frankfurt), and I am so hoping to clear the hurdle to get some training already, and moving cross-country is not an option.
I welcome any input on this, for truly, it is baffling to me.

Kendal,
It is not that difficult. You do not actually need to go to New York, but, before taking your first class, you will need to take a language placement test. It can be done by fax. You will then need to call each time to register for classes.
Good luck,
Rob

Thanks for the reply; I figured I was over-complicating things. I have a couple forms, one of which is a request to take their admissions test, so hopefully we'll see how that goes. I like that it's free.
I don't know how much they offer for French as compared to German; have you encountered a problem thus far with there being only a couple classes offered in a given term and you haven't taken the prerequisite yet?

It looks like that may be an issue with German, but it seems like German course offerings are like that everywhere. Kind of odd considering that immigrants from Germany comprise, or used to comprise, such a significant portion of the U.S. population.

A disappointing note on my registration process with NYU to take courses in German>English translation. I passed the admissions exam, they sent me a permission form for registration, I faxed in the requested information....and heard nothing. Today I called to follow up and not only had they not gotten my fax, the course I need to take is cancelled due to lack of interest.

I passed the admissions exam, they sent me a permission form for registration, I faxed in the requested information....and heard nothing. Today I called to follow up and not only had they not gotten my fax, the course I need to take is cancelled due to lack of interest. There have to be eight people minimum to take the class, and to take other classes or more than one class at a time I have to have this class, so this is massively discouraging. If there aren't enough people now, who's to say there will be enough next semester? How many of their offered classes get cancelled like this due to lack of registrants?
It is nearly impossible to get certified in my language pair online, and the NYU solution is not going to be a magic bullet at this rate. Why do more schools not offer online coursework in German? Every day I see the new German>English job postings here and I can't even presume to bid on most of them because I need more training. ▲ Collapse

I was also considering the MA at UWE by distance learning however the course at Portsmouth seems more appealing to me for two reasons: It would allow me to study two source languages rather than one (FR and DE in my case) and the modules seem more practical and vocational, which is what I'm looking for. I am wondering if anybody has had any experience with this university and course? The course is also offered as a PGCert/PgDip. ▲ Collapse

Many thanks for this, I really appreciate it.
The course seems to come highly recommended; I've more or less made up my mind now to do it. Perhaps we'll be (online) class mates!

It seems NYU offers an online MS in Translation.
Can anyone tell me where the difference is to an MA? Would you recommend doing an MS?
