Internships & Scholarships
Internships
Students majoring in Spanish T&I complete a semester-long, 3-credit capstone experience in the Translation and Interpreting Office. There, they participate in the regular flow of translation assignments and projects while working side by side with professional translators and project managers.
Students in our 100% online graduate programs, especially those specializing in Localization, can collaborate remotely with the Translation and Interpreting Office. Thus, they too participate in the translation and editing flow of UTRGV's institutional website.
