You will also choose one elective that focuses on translation theory, interpreting, or cultural contexts.<br \/>\nMontclair\u2019s prime location near New York City gives you access to global industries, media organizations, and government bodies, an ideal setting if you want to build professional networks while you study.<\/p>\n<p>You are eligible to enroll in this certificate program if you hold a bachelor\u2019s degree and have completed at least 24 semester hours of French, or can show equivalent proficiency.<br \/>\nIf you later pursue the full MA in French with a Professional Translation Concentration, this certificate aligns directly with that program and your credits can apply toward the degree.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you want to test the waters or take the plunge into a translation career, this certificate is a strategic move as a professional with French fluency. <a href=\"http:\/\/catalog.montclair.edu\/programs\/professional-french-translation-certificate\/\">See the curriculum<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"prpl-button-row\"><span class=\"prpl-button\"><a href=\"https:\/\/graduate.montclair.edu\/apply\/\">Apply Now<\/a><\/span><span class=\"prpl-button ghost-red\"><a href=\"https:\/\/graduate.montclair.edu\/register\/grad-inquiry\">Request Info<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><aside><p><strong>Program Format<\/strong><br \/><a href=\"\/academics\/program-finder\/?modality=in-person\">In-person<\/a><\/p><p><strong>College or School<\/strong><br \/><a href=\"\/academics\/program-finder\/?college=chss\">College of Humanities and Social Sciences<\/a><\/p><p><strong>Area of Study<\/strong><br \/><a href=\"\/academics\/program-finder\/?area_of_study=arts-culture-design\">Arts, Culture and Design<\/a>; <a href=\"\/academics\/program-finder\/?area_of_study=public-service-and-the-humanities\">Public Service and the Humanities<\/a><\/p><p><span class='prpl-button full-width'><a href=\"https:\/\/graduate.montclair.edu\/portal\/graduate-events\">Upcoming Admissions Events<\/a><\/span><\/p><\/aside><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"prpl-band no-margin\"><div class=\"text-content\">\n<h2>Career Opportunities<\/h2>\n<div class=\"link-list triple\">\n<ul>\n<li>Anthropologist<\/li>\n<li>Business Administrator<\/li>\n<li>Psychologist<\/li>\n<li>Sociologist<\/li>\n<li>Researcher<\/li>\n<li>Teacher<\/li>\n<li>Translator<\/li>\n<li>International Business<\/li>\n<li>Diplomat \/ Foreign Service<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<div class=\"prpl-band lt-gray no-margin\"><div class=\"text-content\">\n<h2><strong>Admission Requirements<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Equivalent of a U.S. bachelor\u2019s degree.<\/li>\n<li>Applicants with non-U.S. degrees: Please visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/graduate\/how-to-apply\/international-applicants\/\">international applicants page<\/a> to review U.S. degree equivalency information.<\/li>\n<li>*Students seeking an F1\/J1 visa are not eligible for this certificate program unless they are currently pursuing a master&#8217;s degree at Montclair State University and are able to simultaneously pursue both programs while maintaining their student visa requirements.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Application Checklist<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Application Deadline: Rolling admission.<\/li>\n<li>Online Application: <a href=\"https:\/\/graduate.montclair.edu\/apply\/\">Submit application<\/a> and $60 non-refundable fee (or waiver if applicable).<\/li>\n<li>Transcript: One from each college attended.<\/li>\n<li>Essay\/Statement of Purpose: Please write an integrated essay providing a response to each of the following questions:\n<ul>\n<li>What are your goals for graduate study and your future career?<\/li>\n<li>In what ways do your academic background and your professional experiences provide evidence of your potential for success in the program you selected and in your eventual career?
