If I am interested in a specialty area of interpreting like educational, legal, medical, religious or performance interpreting, how do I pursue that?
Since the program has focus on educational settings, all students have the opportunity to gain exposure to and specialize in this area. In addition, in your internships you will experience a variety of interpreting settings. However, these specialty areas require skills and training beyond general interpreting. You must first develop strong general skills in interpreting. Then, workshops, courses and mentoring are available around the country. Whatever specialty is your preference, get a good solid base in general interpreting first.
