The online M.A in Translation and Interpretation program in University of Illinois is wonderful because it gives me the opportunity to pursue the exact degree that I want but I can work on it at my own convenience. As a military spouse who has to move around,I really appreciated the online M.A. program's availability. I can closely work with on-campus students as well as my professors because I can always get their connections and immediate feedback. The program opened up my eyes to the possibilities in conference interpreting, translating for the professions and literary translation. I am confident that it will expand my career paths in the future, too
