The Master of Conference Interpreting (MCI) is a two-year, professionally oriented degree program, comprised entirely of coursework that will provide students with the opportunity to acquire the knowledge, skills and abilities needed to practice in a variety of interpreting markets. The first year of the program, offered entirely online, will be devoted to providing students with a broad base of knowledge, and with the opportunity to practise interpreting as it is conducted in a variety of settings. Those who continue on in the second year of the program will intensify their focus on interpreting specifically in the conference setting, and successful completion of the second year will see them earn the Master of Conference Interpreting.
