Interpreters are also in high demand in law enforcement and social service agencies and for administrative hearings. The College of Charleston's Bilingual Legal Interpreting master's program was initiated to help meet this challenge. This is the only program in the US at the Master's level. The Bilingual Legal Interpreting program for English-Spanish program is a comprehensive, sequenced and integrated series of courses designed to provide the students with the competencies, techniques and research skills required of a professional legal interpreter. Demographic trends indicate that the heavy rate of immigration, especially from Spanish-speaking countries, will continue until the middle of the 21st century. Therefore, employment opportunities for professional legal interpreters will continue well into the next decade. There is also a 12 hour certificate program. The certificate program provides the means by which students can attain the minimum foundational skills in legal interpreting in an abbreviated time frame, generally one summer. The certificate program is specially designed for students enrolled in other language-oriented graduate programs, professional translators, and college graduates interested in developing basic interpreting skills.     Accreditation Information:   # Of Credits Required:   Time To Degree:     Previous Degrees Pre-Requisite Courses International Student Requirements Requirements Qualifying Exam: Minimum Exam Score: GPA or Equivalent: English Proficiency: Research Competency: Clinical Internship:   Work Experience Volunteer Experience Publications Experience Foreign Language Requirement Other Requirements   Cost Per Credit Hour: $   Tuition:   Financial Aid Offered:       # of Students Enrolled Full Time:   # of Students Enrolled Part Time:   Average GPA:   Average Test Scores:   Charge Per Credit:   Annual Full Time Avg Institution Tuition:   Financial Aid Offered:   Average Work Experience: Less than 1 Year  Specializations:   # of Terms Per Year:   Placement Percentage:   Historically Black:   Religious Affiliation:
