Translation & Interpreting Programs at UTRGV

The Translation and Interpreting Programs (TIP) coordinate all the undergraduate and graduate translation and interpreting course offerings at UTRGV.

With a group of expert professors in the field from several locations in the world, we offer an online graduate program in Spanish Translation and Interpreting. We also offer an undergraduate minor and a BA Major in Spanish Translation and Interpreting, the first and largest in the State of Texas and one of the most comprehensive in the nation.

Over the past semester, TIP has been working with UTRGV librarians to update the Translation and Interpreting Research Guide. This is a helpful resource to find articles, books, journals, and other materials related to translation and interpreting, both online and in print.

A B3 Translation and Interpreting Resources has been included. B3 stands for bilingual, biliterate, and bicultural, which reflects the identity and professional profile of our students. This section includes materials that are particularly relevant for individuals working at the intersection of Spanish and English.
