Accelerated Honours B.A. in Translation for degree holders
Already hold a university degree and interested in honing your language skills? Our Accelerated Honours BA in English to French or French to English Translation is designed to prepare you for a career in the language industry with just 2 years of full-time study. The core courses for this program are essentially the same as our other Honours BA programs; however, you need only fulfill half the requirements (60 credits) to obtain this Accelerated Degree. You can do so on a full or part-time basis.
Starting September 2023, the Accelerated Honours BA program can be completed online or in person. Some of our courses are fully online for all students. Other courses are offered in person but will now be held in HyFlex classrooms that allow remote students to attend via Zoom.
Our graduates are well-trained translation professionals who find jobs in the private, public and not-for-profit sectors. Many also go on to pursue studies at the graduate level (Masters and PhD).
