Editor notes

The Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy in Humanities offered by The School of Arts & Humanities at The University of Texas at Dallas are non-traditional degrees that allow students to concentrate their graduate studies around their individual interests in Translation Studies. Concentrated on both literary and technical translation, this is a complete course that covers cultural as well as practical aspects.
