"Spoken by 200 million people, Arabic is one of the most widely used languages in the world and an official language of the United Nations. International organizations, including the UN and the European Union, government agencies in the United States and other countries, as well as businesses, have a strong need for qualified Arabic translators and interpreters."

- Dean Chuanyun Bao

The Monterey Institute of International Studies offers Arabic/English master's programs in:

• Translation
• Translation and Localization Management
• Translation and Interpretation
• Conference Interpretation

Students gain mastery in translation and interpretation skills through a rigorous two-year curriculum. The first year is designed to provide students with basic knowledge of translation and interpretation. In their second year, all students declare a degree specialization and refine skills that will enable them to succeed as professional translators and interpreters. To complete their studies, students take a series of professional exams and most complete a thesis or research project.
