We know that interpreting in k-12 is not for the faint of heart! It is a big responsibility and requires advanced skills and abilities in, not only interpreting but in navigating the complex educational systems.
We've developed a master's degree program paired with a specialty certificate in educational interpreting! We partner with our Deaf and Hard of Hearing Education program to offer the courses to equip interpreters for navigating the system and working in cooperation with classroom teachers and educational teams.
Grant funding is available through a federal OSEP grant!
Details:
- Online program with two-week summer residencies
- 45 credits of coursework
- 18 credit graduate certificate
- Limited grant funding is available for students, with service requirements post-graduation.

We know that becoming an interpreter, maintaining and growing your skills, and advancing to leadership/teaching isn’t easy to do on your own. It is a far richer experience to engage with a community of learning around similar interests with classmates who also have a passion for work and study. Here at WOU, we believe that “scholarship matters,” and that we need to all do our part to increase the quality and quantity of interpreters available to the communities we serve.
That’s why we are excited to tell you about the MA in Interpreting Studies program here at WOU. We are now offering three tracks - one for entry-level interpreters, one for advanced interpreters, and one for teaching/leadership. Additionally, we have grant funding available - if you plan to work or work in K-12 settings, this is the one for you.

Our "Theory & Practice" track is designed for any interpreter who is interested in structured, supervised development as a reflective practitioner and/or who identifies as newer to the field.
Our “Advanced” and “Teaching” tracks are designed for experienced interpreters who are certified (and/or have worked professionally for 5 or more years) and want to improve their work and become a leader in the field through mentoring, teaching, and scholarship.
The grant funding is from the Office of Special Education and provides tuition remission, small stipends for various expenses, and requires you to get a certificate in Educational Interpreting.
Do these resonate with you!?!? If so, we would love to chat more about the opportunity and what questions you might have for us!
** please note - though our program is primarily online, we do require 2 residencies. They will be held virtually this year.
