The benefit of the graduate programs offering a focus in Translation is that they do not limit concentration in other area, and combines translation techniques with other useful abilities.

• Binghamton University (New York)
This MA is quite similar in style to Binghamton's TRIP translation certificate but is applied to an area in the Arts and Social Sciences. The translation training can be formally applied to a Masters in Comparative Literature, Romance Languages, Social Sciences, and Education (with and MS also offered.) Even though these five areas have formal translation tracks, the translation focus can be applied to any other Master's degree program. Languages offered are French, German, Korean, and Spanish into English.

• City University of New York
The CUNY Master's degree is a part of a more general Liberal Studies program. One of the many focal opportunities, a specialization in French, German, or Spanish to English Translation is offered. Two courses from the chosen area are combined with interdisciplinary courses, providing flexibility to meet individual interests.

• University of Texas at Dallas
UT at Dallas supports a Master's degree in Writing and Translation that is a liberal studies education. The Spanish/English Translation is literary, and the completion of the degree requires 30 semester hours. Also required to graduate, students must submit a portfolio of significant work.
No other university in the United States offers a PhD program that includes translation. This doctorate in Philosophy requires 60 semester hours is an extension of the MA. A dissertation and the passing of a qualifying examination are also part of necessary curriculum.
