As far as future employment goes, is there an advantage to earning an MA rather than a Graduate Certificate?
It is difficult to generalize as the answer depends on the prospective students’ experience. Translation is an increasingly competitive field and it is no longer easy to break into it without a solid background. If candidates are continuing their education after a BA or BS degree, or after a short time on the job market, an MA is most often the better option. If candidates have extensive experience in a field (i.e., finance, law, medicine), and are looking for a career change, or if candidates are looking to add a credential to an already substantial academic background, the Certificate is most often the way to go. However, it depends on what candidates intend to do with the certificate or degree when they have completed it, and individualized advising is the best way to discover which option suits your experience.
