What is technical Spanish?

The Associate of Applied Science in Technical Spanish/Translation and Interpretation degree prepares graduates to translate and interpret from Spanish to English and vice versa, facilitating accurate communication.

Why technical Spanish?

Graduates find jobs interpreting and translating in public and private sector organizations, such as hospitals, courts, businesses, government departments or as independent contractors.

Academic Advantage

Oklahoma has a growing Spanish-speaking community, and government agencies and businesses want better communication for this community. The Technical Spanish/Translation and Interpretation is the only associate degree of its kind in Oklahoma.

 

The degree program offers industry-specific training that will equip graduates with the technical expertise to effectively translate and/or interpret business, legal, medical, and health care settings with professional, ethical standards. The public is served better by having more qualified interpreters in the field. For example, police officers and hospital workers benefit from being able to work without having to wait for interpreters to be found to help with clients/patients.
