Translation and localization management is a rapidly growing segment of a language services industry that is expanding to meet the needs of a globalizing economy. Needs within the industry are becoming more specialized, requiring some employees to have high level language translation skills, while others focus most of their work on technology or project management. Mirroring this evolution, beginning in the Fall of 2017 the Institute’s TLM program will offer three distinct tracks – Translation, Localization, and Management – that branch from a common core of nine courses.  This new design will not only better prepare students for the career tracks they hope to pursue, but will enable the Institute to recruit and admit students with a wider range of language abilities and interests.
