| Ph. D. in Translation Studies State University of New York at Binghamton Center for Research in Translation The CRIT/TRIP doctoral degree is the first Ph.D. in translation studies in the U.S. It prepares students both for the professoriate and for scholarly research including research informed translation and offers individualized interdisciplinary tracks to accommodate the anticipated variety of backgrounds.
Center for Research in Translation The Center for Research in Translation (CRIT) administers and facilitates translation activities at Binghamton University. These include the Translation Research and Instruction Program (TRIP) a graduate certificate program dating back to 1971; the Translation Referral Service, a non-profit inter-language service established in 1974; and an organized research center established in 1987.
Since 1984, CRIT has published Translation Perspectives and a variety of occasional publications. The center also sponsors conferences and visitors that bear on translation, broadly defined.
First stand-alone doctoral program in translation studies in the U.S. This newly approved Ph.D. program is built on the premise that translation studies integrate several disciplines. It is intended to insure that candidates are familiar with the source disciplines and cultures as well as scholarship in translation studies per se –assuming that candidates enter with adequate practice. The main features of the doctoral program are:
CRIT/TRIP is currently considering applicants for Fall 2004.
Faculty
As well as an interdisciplinary faculty from the schools of arts and sciences, education and human development, engineering and management also participates of the program. There are 41 CRIT fellows, 23 of whom hold appointments as TRIP Faculty Associates.
OTHER DEGREE OPTIONS OFFERED
Certificate in Translation The TRIP certificate in translation is a graduate program, although undergraduates fluent in a foreign language may take an undergraduate section of the Translation Workshop. Masters programs in two departments, Comparative Literature (MA) and Education (MASS), have formal translation tracks; however, the graduate certificate program may be combined with any doctoral or master’s degree program or taken as a separate track. To date, Certificates have been awarded to advanced-degree candidates in Advanced Technology, Accounting, Anthropology, Biology, Bio-Chemistry, Comparative Literature, English, French, Italian, Management, Music, Philosophy, Political Sciences, Psychology, Sociology, and Spanish.
Master's Degree Options Some MA programs and doctoral tracks have been identified as especially suitable for the integration of translator training at Binghamton University. These are the MA in comparative literature for literary translation; the MAT in English and Romance Languages; and the doctorates in anthropology, comparative literature, creative writing and philosophy.
