Navajo Translation and Interpretation Certification Program
This is a non-degree certification program in Navajo
translation and interpretation available to students who are already
proficient in Navajo and English. If you are interested in working
in a bilingual cultural setting, this program will better prepare
you as a service professional, community leader, or teacher, and
it will enhance your career possibilities.
To receive certification, you must complete the following 18 hours:
- NAV 380, 381, and 408 (required courses)
- ENG 302, SC 361 and other appropriate elective courses as approved by the program director
To apply for admission to the Navajo certification program, you
must submit a letter of application and relevant transcripts to
the program director. You can be admitted if you have completed
ENG 105 (or equivalent) and NAV 303 and 304 or NAV 311 and 312 with
grades of B or better during the last six years. If you do not meet
these requirements, you may be admitted by passing a written and
oral entrance exam, administered by the program director.
Note: you must maintain a B average in certification courses to
be retained in this program.
