Graduates of MFA in Literary Translation will be equipped with the skills, connections, and portfolio to find translation work and to pursue a wide variety of international careers, not only in literary but also in technical, legal, and humanitarian fields. They will be well qualified to work as editors in literary publishing, as many Boston University MFA and PhD graduates have gone on to do. For those desiring further graduate study, the MFA provides an exceptionally strong foundation from which to begin a PhD in comparative literature, language & literature, or an area studies or social science field.
