The Certificate in Spanish for the Professions can be combined with any major offered at 萝莉社. Students who choose to pursue a double major may also participate in the certificate program. 

It is really easy. All classes in the certificate count towards the Spanish major. So, if you complete the certificate, you may be 2 or 3 classes away from getting a Spanish major. Contact our Undergraduate Advisor, Ms. Julie Henderson, for more details (julie.henderson@wichita.edu). 

An Academic Certificate will prepare you in your path towards certification but will not make you 鈥渃ertified.鈥�  To get certified you need to pass the certification exams offered either by the state or by national professional organizations. For interpreting there are two certification paths, one for legal/court interpreters and another one for medical interpreters. Translators get certified by ATA (American Translators Association) and you can find more information on their website:  

In order to declare the certificate, you must be either a current student at 萝莉社, or be admitted (or readmitted) as an undergraduate student at 萝莉社. Applications and full instructions are available from the Office of Admissions at www.wichita.edu/admissions. Graduate students are eligible to take some of the classes that are required for the certificate. However, graduate students may not to obtain the certificate, as it is an undergraduate degree.

The cost will depend on your classification (as Kansas resident or out-of-state). The current cost per credit hour for Kansas residents is around $230. A list of required tuition and fees can be found here.
