• Comparative Literature at UC Santa Barbara is home to the Graduate Emphasis in Translation Studies and the Translation Studies Minor. Check our pages for the requirements regarding these two emphases.
  • Translation Studies continues to flourish on our campus, with exceptional graduate students in its PhD Emphasis, growing curricular development both at the graduate and undergraduate levels, and a series of events illuminating the enriching world of literary translation. Our new Minor in Translation Studies brings new opportunities for creative research to our Undergraduates. Colleagues affiliated with Translation Studies are for the most part literary translators; some are broadening the horizon of linguistic, literary, and cultural translations while others work at the interface of the Humanities and the Sciences, or inquire into the contact zones that emerge in the transitions between schoolarly disciplines.
  • Are you Interested in our translation studies mailing list: translationstudies@complit.ucsb.edu? Please write to our Graduate Program Assistant to get added.
