• In the BCA Marburg program, we’ll provide you with the hands-on learning you'll need to consider a career in translation. Our resident director Kris Riggs, who also is an ATA certified translator, will teach you all the basics about translation, professional certification as a translator and how to use the translation memory (TM) software so that upon completion of GER 310 you will have the basic skills to set your résumé apart.
• Explore the rest of Europe! Vienna’s international airport and train stations make it easy to get both near and far, and Marburg is only 90 minutes from the Frankfurt International Airport, which is Europe's third largest airport.
