https://sites.google.com/a/hawaii.edu/cits/summer-intensive-interpreter-trainingThe Center for Interpretation and Translation Studies (CITS) was established in 1988 at the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa within the College of Languages, Linguistics and Literature. The Center's primary goal is to provide basic training in translation and interpretation. Emphasis is on the sociolinguistic and communication skills and techniques needed to facilitate cultural, scientific, and technical exchanges in cross-cultural and multinational settings. These can be used at international conferences, as well as medical, legal and social service settings. Given our commitment to the community, a number of CITS courses are made available to non-UHM students through Outreach College. Generic courses are conducted in English and any language speaker is welcome. Language-specific courses may require proof of language proficiency before enrollment. Currently, interested students can receive a BA in Translation and/or Interpretation through Interdisciplinary Studies.
